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.

I would worry about air quality.

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

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.

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?

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