It's a conference in the U.S.. People don't want to travel to the U.S. right now.
> People don't want to travel to the U.S. right now

This is not very international. Firstly DEI is apparently nongrata in the US now. On top of it GHC got a terrible reputation in recent years.

Rough economic landscape. Fear of flying to the US. High gas prices. Softening of american company support for "woke" causes.
