At my company we make a niche software used by companies globally. Our plan was to arrange a conference in the US for our clients in North/Cental America. Considering the state of the US, we will probably cancel it, as we don't expect our Mexican and Canadian clients to feel comfortable at all. Neither do we at the head office in Europe. We will instead host it in Europe most likely.

I remember when the ACM ICPC had to be moved from Egypt to the US during the Arab Spring. It's got to be a logistics nightmare to move a conference, but it's best to bite the bullet at the first sign of trouble.

You could host it in Mexico or Canada, they're pretty nice!

For many travellers it would be hard to find a flight plan without a stop in the US though.

That's a great idea. I can't speak about Mexican alternatives but there are many great locations in Canada for a conference.

If the conference was originally going to be held on the west coast of the US then Vancouver would be an excellent alternative and if it was going to be held on the east coast then Montreal is another excellent alternative.

Can anyone suggest some viable alternatives in Mexico?

The Canadian government has this travel advisory for Mexico: https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/mexico

Aren't there still violent conflicts with drug gangs where citizens are killed still going on in Mexico?
