Doing something on Sunday might create more options. Quite separately,
it was true in the past that IETF would have one or more morning plenary

This list if helpful. Personally, I would much rather either combine the
social with the reception on Sunday or have it follow later Sunday night.
The quality of the social events has been declining, IMO, and is rarely
worth the cost. I'd rather spend $35 on a nice restaurant dinner with my
friends. I can do that *and* attend an IAB plenary on Thursday night.
