Melisa,
Currently, no way! As the year goes on, and dependant on 2nd spikes (or lack of them), and the current status of the region you are going to, then European travel for really important meetings / events may be considered.
Currently, given the state of infection (and response) in the US then I would not consider it. So "Sectember" in Seattle is definitely not on my travel agenda, or even putting in a speaking proposal.
Looking at how things may go, and given that RSA have moved 2021 to mid-May, then potentially that may be my first trans-Atlantic trip, but too soon to tell.
It's not the events themselves, as I believe it's viable to put in practices to minimise potential infection/transmission; it's the need to travel, take cabs, stay in hotels, eat in restaurants etc.
My 2 cents

Subject: Are you willing to attend in person events in 2020? Or are you sticking to only Virtual events?
CSA is hosting our first in-person (limited to 50 in attendance, lots of social distancing, and masks) event since RSA next week outside of Washington DC. It seems that we may be the first to host an in-person event since then.
How are people feeling about getting back to in-person events? Are you planning on attending any in-person events this year or not and why? Have you seen other conferences moving forward with their in-person schedule? What have you seen as far as in-person guidelines?
I would love to hear everyone's thoughts.
