This happened last time Trump was president too.
Except this time it’s way quicker, and probably way more urgent.
This time it’s not just because USA is unpopular, now there are also people who simply don’t want to take the risk of being sent to some prison they may never get out of.
It’s exactly the same as for tourism, which AFAIK has dropped almost 30%. If this translates to conferences, they can expect that 30% of foreigners invited that would normally show, will not want to go to USA.
I just went to a conference in Hawaii, which is usually a very popular, but half the poster boards were bare. I saw multiple recorded talks because the speakers were denied entry visas, including one of the opening keynote speakers.
