Hi, I am personally OK with the event taking place in March, August, or September (i.e. any of the dates you've suggested).
It might be a bit tight for March if the call for participation is not yet open. Also, I wonder if August might be tough for a bunch of people, though, as they may be on vacation. Let's keep the communication flowing with regards to this event. I know I am very eager to attend it and I'm guessing others are, as well. Thanks!
