>I go to a lot of tech conferences — 13 in 2025 — and many of those I attend are outside the US; several are in London, one is in Amsterdam, another in Paris, and two in Tokyo.
Wherever I went this past year, when we weren’t talking about AI, Linux, the cloud, or open-source software, the top non-tech topic for non-Americans involved the sweeping changes that have occurred since President Donald J. Trump returned to office last January. The conversations generally ended with something like this: “I’m not taking a job or going to a conference in the United States.”
Honestly, who can blame them?
Under Trump, America now has large “Keep Out!” and “No Trespassing!” signs effectively posted. I’ve known several top tech people who tried to come to the US for technology shows with proper visas and paperwork, but were still turned away at the border. Who wants to fly for 8+ hours for a conference, only to be refused entry at the last minute, and be forced to fly back?
