EAGx events

EAGx conferences are community-run events supported by the EA Global team. These conferences are open to a wider audience, including those who are familiar with the core concepts of EA, and interested in learning more about how to put those ideas into practice. People already working on effective-altruism-inspired projects also attend, to share research, updates, and advice, as well as to connect with people in the region where the conference is taking place.
