For people outside the US: would you travel to the US now? What if your employer asked you to do it - what would you say? How do you feel about conferences and events held in the US?

No, I would not. ICE has already detained Canadians, and I'm not looking to try my luck. I've already cancelled a work trip to a convention in Vegas.
No.

I would say I wouldn't go.

Holding conferences on the US was already a complete barrier, as it would require a work visa, and even if I really wanted to go, I'd need every information and inscription to be available 6 months in advance.

No. I've already told my employer that I will not join one planned trip to the US this year. From the travel plans I believe I'm not the only one.
It's not a theoretical for me anymore, I've already cancelled a trip I was planning this summer, and have expressed concerns with friends and family who are still thinking of making the journey.

Yes. I would go to a conference to the USA, although that's incredibly rare that Canadian companies pay for the travel. Local conferences ( same city as the office one employed ) are OK though.

Absolutely not (from Sweden) and I'll refuse any conference or event held in the US.
no, no, not going.
Absolutely no way to get me there voluntarily.
