I think we’re seeing the beginning of the end of international professional conferences in the US. It doesn’t take that many people being denied or detained for people to start refusing to attend conferences in the US. Canada and Mexico are probably the biggest beneficiaries of this shift.
If you combine this with the cutting of research funding and making it harder for academics and entrepreneurs to come to the US, it’s like the current administration is doing its best to sabotage the country’s future.
