Thanks to all for your kindly regards and comments :) Steven, concerning to the public safety, our city are different from the known issues of the northern states of the country. In the link you quote for United States citizens are properly pointed for Mexico City: "no advisory is in effect". Also, the Centro Historico area (the venue are in the north of this Downtown area) is safe for tourism. But we will have in addition the special support and coordination with the Mexico City authorities for more vigilance and a special operative for reduce any risk to the minimum in the venue and their perimeter.
