>Having kids out of school would be nice, but is not a good thing for conference organizers. One would perhaps get some people that would bring the family and would be willing to pay 40 bucks more per night, overall however, a conference organizer would loose a lot of money (and attendees) over a deal like that. In addition, people use the time when kids are out of school to go places other than conferences. (That's why we do surveys...;-)
