Some random thoughts from "local knowledge"...
Downtown Miamisburg can be fun for a "pub crawl" type of night. Compact and easily walkable between several good, local venues. (Bullwinkles-the rib place, Ron's Tavern, Star City Brewing, TJ Chumps, and more) However, it is not very convenient to the airport nor downtown Dayton area.

I have always enjoyed "The Pub", located at the Greene (I-675/Indian Ripple). It has a bit more "chain" feel to it then I usually like, but decent food and even better selection of drafts/drinks.

Depending on how the events shape up, the Oregon district is probably a good place to spend some time. About a 2 block area of historic buildings now housing restaurants, bars, and other eclectic businesses.
Thai 9 - Thai and sushi

I am spoiled by spending so much time in Thailand, so I typically don't visit Thai places here, but Thai 9 gets good reviews.
Jay's seafood:
http://www.jays.com/ Another Oregon District favorite. Has a private room that seats up to 35 available except on Fridays. May be a bit too pricey?
Another possibility is El Mason, located just a short drive away alongside I-75.

a full-fledged, full time Hispanic-fusion restaurant.
They also have some space for private parties...and a rather wicked Mojito if my booze-hazed memory is accurate.
