Ken,
 
The week before or the week after Easter tends to be the spring
break period for many schools.  Families may use this time
for vacations/etc..  I would recommend trying to avoid this
time frame if possible. Also, seems to me that Interex has a
policy about scheduling events around holidays and as such, I'm
surprise this period is being considered as if the conference goes
through Thursday PM, attendees from the East would end-up having
to travel on Good Friday.

Its unfortunate that this was not arranged earlier, say in
June time frame as oppose to now, so as to have a wider
selection.  Yes, I realize that probably everyone was busy
preparing for HPWorld, but shouldn't Interex's conference
staff addressed their earlier....  :(
