Peak of summer is when Americans with children are on vacation
too. What is your intention here - to skip the summer meeting?

My point is that Europe doesn't have to be over-represented as the
summer continent.

For the last 15 years, 7 out of 11 of the July meetings has been in
Europe.  I can only find three non-July EU meetings in the last 15
years, and two of them were held in early August.

This timing has made it difficult for me to attend the meetings.
