At least have your sine pass through the origin ffs!
There's zero chance the conference can be moved so close to its date. I guess it could be cancelled or postponed to next year.
The petition cites the 2022 decision by the ICM’s organizing body, the International Mathematical Union (IMU), to move the last congress out of Saint Petersburg, Russia, in response to the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine earlier that year. The event was moved mostly online, with a small in-person awards ceremony held in Helsinki, Finland.
They cite this as precedent, so could just do the same thing
That wasn't in response to the ongoing Covid pandemic?
Would make sense to relocate it next year. Nobody wants to be randomly arrested by KGB.
