I am looking for a word meaning ‘the day before’ that fits within the following sentence:
‘day before the day the conference started’
Alternatively a neater way of saying the same thing would be great.

«The day before»
Can refer to yesterday or the previous day.
Most don’t use it when speaking about yesterday, but pinpointing a slightly arbitrary time.
«What did you do ‘the day before’ we went on that hiking trip? You looked tired all day.»
«The day before’ that time I was in the hospital I was feeling just fine, nothing seemed wrong.»
With it meaning yesterday, unless you say «the day before today» at which the person will know what you speak of but will likely still correct you with «you mean yesterday?» O_o
Number 2 seems more correct in use in regular language because when using it, ‘the day before’, you would have to specify an event or point in time or day to tether the statement to. So the person you speak with can envision it.
