If we want more flexibility in order to find better hotel deals, then we have

Friday afternoon and Sunday morning in order to make it from one meeting to
another.
Is this so bad that $300/night room prices for hundreds of participants to
avoid this issue is a good deal?
One potential solution could be to select two or three weeks that don't clash
or only minimally clash and then start the negotiations with a few more
options, fixing the date a year or so out.
