In python if you do an assignment where the right hand side
has one or
more commas then it means you are creating a tuple:

>>> a = 1
>>> a
1
>>> a = 1,
>>> a
(1,)

So just remove the trailing commas in your view and you will
then be
assigning a date rather than a tuple to conference_date.

In general the error  "'tuple' object has no attribute
xxx" normally
means a trialling comma slipped in somewhere - it is a
mistake I have
made several times.
