        I assume that there is no way to change the date for *this* conference; it would require renegotiating agreements and rejuggling schedules with too many actors (hotels, restaurants, important speakers, etc.).
But I would like everyone involved in planning *future* conferences to keep this issue in mind.
PS: A friend of mine wrote a convenient CGI script to help planners out with this issue: http://jik2.kamens.brookline.ma.us/cgi-bin/holidays.cgi
