Thanks for writing this! I’m excited to see organisers and advisors really dive into theories of change for EAGx.
That said, I think the models here might benefit from looking at the existing data. Reading this post, you might think will be the first EA Global or EAGx event to take place—but there have been many, and we have lots of data on what people find useful.
I also gathered data about what part of the event was most valuable from 2023 events (from follow-up surveys, so asking people what was valuable several months after the event). Sharing below.
