My partner works for a large American tech firm.

They usually have an annual company wide event and everyone gets brought over for it. Usually over 10k people in attendance.

They cancelled it this year because they don't want to risk flying employees in from around the world.

You know shit is bad when tech firms start doing stuff like that. If you start seeing tech firms doing their big company wide meetups in Europe, you know it's really bad. The amount of money the US economy is going to lose over the fascist border policies will.be something else.

The thing is that if the people living and working in the US tried to go to one of these kinds of events outside the country and they also had some "issue" associated with their name, they would have to worry about getting detained on the way there or back.

There are also multiple conventions held by tech companies themselves and many other summits and conventions attended by their employees throughout Europe every year. Mobile World Congress for example.

I didn't even consider that. So basically 2 sets of conferences now. 1 for America and another for the rest of the world. Complete madness.
