Why not be creative and have a virtual parallel EA global event? There’s lots of opportunity to be creative there.
For example it could be as simple as specified times for people to hop on the EA Gather dot town. There are also a lot of opportunities to match people creatively with pre-survey work and such.
As one data point, the virtual EA Student Summit was both really fun and informative for me (did many 1-1s), and encouraged me to apply to a physical EAG a year later :)

Thanks for the suggestion. We did do a parallel virtual event before and decided against doing it again because virtual underperformed the in-person event and split our attention. We were considering running our own separate virtual event this year, but instead, we are supporting EAGx Virtual next month.

Thank you! I’m so glad :)
