Who would have to be threatened so much to cancel this? Even if it is canceled it does not mean that those who were going still can't meet and discuss things.
'Oh its canceled, well shit.. guess we can't do ANYTHING now.'
Most organizations don’t have the resources to let people travel without an actual event on the other end.
I could be wrong, but I suspect visas may be affected as well.
The organizers and attendees will try and coordinate something else. However, throwing something together on zoom, at such short notice is going to be a crap show.
The schedules wouldn’t survive unscathed, since speakers will start dropping out at this point.
If they do manage to get something together, they run the real risk of it being a rickety and frustrating event.

Or the USA.
The fact that both are equally likely tells you all you need to know about the current state of the USA.
It's misleading to call "RightsCon" a "Human Rights Conference."
Why?
It may be because some folks do not consider Human Rights as Rights.
