Add airstones to the tank - warmer water can't hold as much oxygen, so you need to help as much as you can.

Removing the cover and running a fan over the surface, or multiple fans for large tanks, will help cool the water a bit.

If this doesn't cut it, you can always ice the tank - that is throw in a frozen bottle of water, or a bag of ice cubes. They'll need to be replaced regularly of course, and start small so that it doen't end up tipping to far the other way.

Can't you get aquarium coolers for such situations? I'm trying to remember where I heard that... maybe I made it up...
