NC Prop 8 protest on the Same day as N.C. Equality Conference and Gala

I was hoping to go to the NC Equality Conference as a event recorder, now I'm tear between gong to one of these Prop 8 protests, two are close to me, the one in Raleigh and Greenville. I know I would get more interesting photos shots at these events than at the NC Equality Conference and Gala. Then I would miss out on the conference and meeting few persons of interest.

I don't understand why these Organizer in NC would have chosen the 15 for this when so many would be a the NC Equality Conf & Gala, It would be like having these protest on NC Pride Day.

What to do what to do, If I choose to go to a protest instead of the Conference, I hope the Conference will be another great success for those who do attend.
