LA for work

[Anonymous]

Would you go to LA the week of January 20th (work trip)? Staying by Dodgers Stadium.

Depends on the airport, hotel, local transportation, etc. as well as whether the business could just be handled virtually.

Is it a conference or just a work meeting?

Conference - speaking

It is in downtown LA.

[Anonymous]

No. I wouldn’t go.

Why? The fires aren't anywhere near downtown LA. Obviously the organizers might want to postpone the conference, but if I were supposed to speak, I would plan on going until they did so.

Looks like I'd be about 10 miles from two of the big fires.

As a speaker, I would attend. As an attendee I may be inclined to not go so resources (hotel housing) can be used for local needs.

I would worry about air quality.

Now this is a good point, and maybe a discussion local.officials are having with hotel owners, big conferences, etc

But as a participant and not an organizer, not your call I'd say.
