Regarding [[The Three Weeks]] and the Orthodox fasting period below I'm not getting a sense that there is a specific benefit from avoiding an overlap, or what actions the conference organizers should take if an overlap is going to happen.
As the Haifa conference proved, if is not very important to avoid [[The Three Weeks]] entirely. However, practicing Orthodox Jews would appreciate if it wouldn't fall on [[Tisha B'Av]], the last day of The Three Weeks.
(Orthodox Jews would also appreciate if it wouldn't be on Saturday, but everybody understands that it's not practical.)
