I don't know why you think moving the meeting to June will make more facilities available in Europe. July-August is the traditional vacation season and hence "off season" for conferences. The extreme example might be IETF in Paris which one could argue suffered slightly from the fact that Paris was basically "closed for vacation" at that time, but I am sure it made it easier to get the convention center and hotel and probably cheaper too. And the "closed" condition didn't seem to cause anyone to starve etc. Ole Ole J.
