event-date-selection

Pick the date a technical event runs on - the decision every other plan hangs off. Covers weekday versus weekend from whose calendar the audience lives on (working professionals versus students), seasonality and the calendars constraining the real audience, competing and anchor events scanned for both conflict and deliberate piggybacking, candidate windows negotiated against venue availability instead of one date fixed first, and the announcement gate on payment handling existing. Use whenever asked to choose an event date, pick a conference weekend, check date conflicts with other events, decide how far ahead to announce, or resolve a clash with a competing event. Do NOT use for the work-back schedule from that date - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-planning-timeline.
