Well, when I went to Usenix I spent a lot of time with my spouse, even
during the day.  Of course, he was attending also, since he and I both
do UNIX stuff for a living.  (We even wrote a joint conference
report.)  This solution won't work for everyone, of course, and it's
hard to implement on short notice for those Usenixes in good tourist
locations. :-)
