I say this at EAGx events and in variousposts, but I still don’t think I say it enough: running EAGx events is a huge amount of work, and most of this work is done by dedicated and hard-working EA community members and national group staff. My colleagues and I support these teams, but I think we get too much credit.
I’m continuously impressed by EAGx teams; their thoughtfulness, their focus on impact and the sheer amount of effort they put into ensuring these events go well (and they do). There’s not been a team I haven’t enjoyed working with.
I think there’s more I could do to make working on EAGx events more enjoyable/efficient/worthwhile, but at the very least I want to be extremely open about my (and CEA’s) gratitude towards these people for all they do, have done and will do.
I know that at least at the events themselves, people attending are often grateful to the organizers, because they are often interacting with them before / during the event.
But online, it might be nice to have a space to acknowledge individuals by name somewhere (e.g. in an impact report?)
Thanks Ollie :) - they’re also a lot of fun to work on, and its really fulfilling to see all the connections and potential impact being created at the end of the process as a result of the team’s work.

Applications to EAGxBerlin, EAGxAustralia and EAGxPhilippines are open, and Berlin closes tonight. (Adding this because these teams would probably rather I promote their events than just thank them)
