That would actually be my preference, but I do not think the SW Fox folks want people offering their own seminars at the same time as the SW Fox day of pre conferences. If not for that, I would do all day the 18th for sure.

I also purchased the tickets for two when the SWFox Conference dates were announced - was not assuming that it would be 'extended' by virtue of more pre-conf day(s); (sadly, the penalties for these plane tickets are almost as high as buying another round of tickets... and these are not non-stop flights).
