A few thoughts ...

I know there's always lots of evening events, but putting BoFs in the 
evening hours is a good way to use space that's vacant at that time 
anyway, and not overwhelm the daytime schedule. Since BOFs are 
traditionally low-tech, no-tech (ie no projector, sound system, etc) 
they can happen in a room with no assistance and, at most, a whiteboard 
or paper flip board thing. Or even in a space like the dining area at 
the summit in Atlanta, which would also be vacant in after-hours.
