Announcing Bad News to Conference Goers. As a member of the organizing committee for New Horizons in AI, a prestigious North American conference on Al and NeurIPS (artificial intelligence and neural information processing systems) to be held next month in Montreal, you share responsibility for planning, program design, conference marketing, and communication with invited researchers and keynote speakers to ensure they have been issued the visas necessary to enter Canada. You encouraged invited speakers to begin the visa application process early, especially as 150 of them are African nationals or of African descent living and completing PhDs in the United Kingdom, United States, and Europe. You are alarmed when they begin to get back to you to say their visas have been denied or are still unprocessed. You immediately contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to find out what went wrong and are told that the visa candidates were evaluated according to standard criteria but that there were concerns the applicants lacked stable employment and that their invitations to the conference were fakes. You predict that over 50 per cent of your program speakers could be affected by visa denials. You and the rest of the organizing committee are angry and dismayed, to say the least. With only a few weeks to go, it is too late to find replacements for the invited researchers, all of who are field leaders. At this point your only option is to bring the speakers in remotely via live streaming and telepresence technologies, something for which you hadn't budgeted but which you may be able to implement using the recoupable funds from cancelled travel expenses. Still, the purpose of the conference is to bring researchers from all over the world together to share their findings, synergistically engage in dialogue, and connect with the tech industry. Your fear is that many registrants will withdraw, demanding refunds, and that future al conferences will bypass Canada due to visa issues. You can't help feeling that harm has been done to the advancement of research in Al and that tech development in Canada will be the worse for it. Now the work begins of having to revise the conference program and inform registrants by preparing messages for the following platforms and channels: a) an e-mail to registrants b) an announcement to be posted on the conference website c) an announcement
