From the organizers: This summer, the international EA Global(x) Conference series comes to New York City for the first time!
EAGxNYC 2023 is a conference for people working to solve the world’s most pressing problems. This August, 500 people who are deeply committed to helping others will come together in the city that never sleeps for a weekend of talks, workshops, and networking.
Apply today to join a diverse and passionate group of nonprofit leaders, activists, scholars, philanthropists, and students for 2.5 days of thoughtfully-curated programming and networking opportunities.
Content will focus on state-of-the-art strategies for improving animal welfare, biosecurity, global health and development, artificial intelligence safety, nuclear security, and much more.
Application: Reviewed on a rolling basis, deadline of July 31, 2023, early applications encouraged
When: August 18-20, 2023
Where: Convene, 225 Liberty Street, New York, NY, in Lower Manhattan near the World Trade Center complex
Who: EAGxNYC is intended for both individuals new to the movement and those already professionally engaged with EA, and will cover a diverse range of high-impact cause areas. We believe the conference will be of particular value to those currently exploring new ways they can have an impact, such as students, young professionals, and mid-career professionals looking to shift into EA-aligned work. We also invite established organizations looking to share their work and grow their pool of potential collaborators or hirees.
Geographic scope: As a locally-organized supplement to the Centre for Effective Altruism-organized EAG conferences, EAGxNYC aims to primarily serve, and foster connections between, those living in the NYC area. While we are also excited to welcome individuals from around the globe, due to limited capacity we will prioritize applicants who have a connection to our New York metropolitan area or are seriously considering relocating here, followed by applicants from throughout the East Coast. However, if you are uncertain about your eligibility, don't hesitate to apply!
If you’re already in the New York City area and want to get involved leading up to or following the conference, check out the local EA NYC group for public events, cause-related and professional subgroup events, opportunities for online engagement, and more!
Travel Grants: Limited travel grants of up to $500 are available to individuals from outside of NYC who would not be able to attend EAGxNYC without financial assistance. Applications for financial assistance have no bearing on admissions to the conference.
