Another problem you might run into is apostrophies in your fields - if
someone enters one in their entries, then your SQL will spit

I'd personally change each of the '#form.fieldname#' to
'#replace(form.fieldname,"'","''","all")#'

Or to save time/coding

<CFQUERY NAME="qDoUpdate" DATASOURCE="teleconference">
   UPDATE     data
   SET
      <cfset myCounter=0>
      <cfloop index="i"
list="Conf_Name,Conf_Purpose,Conf_Date,Occurance,Begin_Time,End_Time,Mod_Nam
e,Mod_Phone,POC_Name,POC_Phone,Facilities,Comments">
         <cfset myCounter=myCounter+1>
         <cfif myCounter gt 1>
            ,
         </cfif>
         #i#='#Replace(Evaluate("form.#i#"),"'","''","all")#'
      </cfloop>
   WHERE ID = #Form.ID#
</CFQUERY>

No additional whitespace as it's all in the query, and it'll be easier for
you to update your code - although you may have to do a switch if certain
fields are to be written as different types

If you don't like CFLoop List then you could always do;
<cfset
myArray=ListToArray("Conf_Name,Conf_Purpose,Conf_Date,Occurance,Begin_Time,E
nd_Time,Mod_Name,Mod_Phone,POC_Name,POC_Phone,Facilities,Comments")>
<cfloop index="i" from=1 to="#ArrayLen(myArray)#">
   <cfif i gt 1>
      ,
   </cfif>
   #myArray[i]#='#Replace(Evaluate("form.#myArray[i]#"),"'","''","all")#'
</cfloop>
