Hello forum, just checking in as the EAGxLondon team lead. A couple of things I’d like to say:
As Ollie notes, we had some problems with the venue. We’re hoping to have a time in early April locked in soon and will send out an announcement when we do.
Why an EAGx in London? EA Globals have a high bar for admissions, but the UK has a large number of students who are newer to EA. We want to create an opportunity for them to attend an EA event this year and EAGx will be much more accessible for them.
Hey @jwpieters—is there any update on this? It’s looking like beginning of April is cutting it a bit fine at the moment. I was wondering if the UK EAGx is likely to be pushed back this year, or maybe not even happen?
Yes, unfortunately, the EAGxLondon team couldn’t secure a date in early April. The university venue we were working with initially said that they had dates available in April but, frustratingly, this turned out not to be the case and the team didn’t have enough time to find an alternative. We’re exploring other options, including an event later this year.
