I agree with Gary (and Arun, etc) on this one. Even this year, due to lack
of name recognition, I might have had trouble getting approval for LUV-91
if it hadn't been so close to me (Baltimore). But AAAI is never a problem...

One possibility is to try what Symbolics did back when AAAI was in
Seattle. They scheduled the SLUG conference right before AAAI, so
we just stayed two weeks instead of one. It might still be hard to
sell management, but you are only paying airfare once. (Plus, in
the Seattle case, this left the weekend for hiking in the Olympic
Peninsula :-). This may also address the issue of being near a large LISP 
community.
