It depends on the topic and the audience.
If you’re expecting people from out of town, you should go with Mon-Tue or Thu-Fri to allow people the chance to tack on a weekend to enjoy the city.
If it’s a conference for VCs, remember that they traditionally have their partner meetings on Monday.
If the audience are likely to be parents, don’t schedule it over a weekend.
Look out for other conflicting events too, as that’s a bigger concern than if it should be on particular days of the week.
