Split at least one day of the conference into streams:
Policy
Business
Charity
People who are lobbying on policy have a lot in common whether they are working in animal rights or xrisk so this could bring separate strands of the movement together. This would also help bring together startup founders and successful businesspeople who want to run their companies more effectively (and otherwise might not meet each other because they’re obscured by heaps of students). The charity segment would discuss public outreach, fundraising, and some impact evaluation.
Everyone would spend more time with the people who can help them do better at their jobs, and there’s more likelihood of collaboration. It seems like a big win.

I agree with the principle of splitting things by type of work rather than by cause.
