I am one of the organizers of a huge annual international academic conference. This year it's in the U.S.

I don't think I can, in good conscience, recommend that any of our international members attend.

Britain Issues Travel Warning for US

The change comes amid President Donald Trump's large-scale crackdown on illegal immigration.

@aram conferences generally really must relocate. The USA is simply not safe, and people can be barred on a whim. At the very least a substantial online stream should be offered. It's really problematic given how crucial some conferences are for networking and sharing.
Suggestion: offer a parallel European location, with a live stream.
@artemis @aram
Come to Canada. For the moment at least we'll even allow people with a US[LN]A passport to enter (and even leave!) without imprisonment.
@alan @artemis @aram The feasibility of relocating to Canada may depend on the size of the conference: some years ago I attended some standards meetings and they always seemed to be held in the wrong season. The reason was that there aren't that many venues that can hold a very large group so you have to get the venue several years in advance.
At least that's the reason they gave us.
@bzdev @artemis @aram Agreed. That was probably a valid reason, there's only a handful of very large venues, but for the next tier down there should be more options.
