This year we’re doing our East Coast EA Global in Boston, but we’re pretty open to shifting it back to DC in the future.
One type of event I’m provisionally excited about is a more introductory EA conference in DC targeted at mid-to-late career folks. Kinda like an EAGx but maybe more “professional” (everyone wears a suit and tie type of vibe). My sense from doing EA Global in DC was that there could be a fair amount of demand for something like this, but at this stage this is more of a vague idea than something I think we’re likely to organize any time soon.
I could definitely see the EAG East Coast alternating between Boston and DC every other year. I have nothing against Boston and I think it is also a great place for an EAG and I realize it is a very difficult choice if you can only pick one.
The idea of a professional suit-tie EAGxDC with significant policy engagement (perhaps not even branded as “EAG” as all but something else) is pretty appealing to me.
Fwiw, just to state it publicly: We hope that if EAGxNYC goes well, NYC can serve as the location for an EAG in future years and I think there are many compelling reasons to have NYC as a primary EAG location.

I definitely agree that NYC is a very compelling location too. Best of luck with EAGxNYC and I’ll see if I can attend.
