Related idea: Make it a habit to reach out to local EA community when traveling?
Lots of EAs already travel quite a bit for work already (e.g. visiting conferences, retreats etc.) or in their vacation. I as EA Berlin group organizer am happy to organize a meetup with the EA Berlin community whenever someone interesting visits, but I often don’t hear about them visiting if they’re not already in my network or proactively reach out via the EA Berlin website or Facebook, which some do but some don’t.
If every EA who’s generally open to meet people makes it a habit to reach out to the local community when traveling (e.g. by looking them up on the map of the EA Hub (www.eahub.org)), then the local group organizers could organize a meetup or connect them to specific people for 1-1′s, thereby giving them a low effort way to meet interesting people. This would also eliminate / mitigate risks of coming across as patronizing, arrogant or weird.
This could work even if there’s no organized group in a city, as long as at least one of the local EAs filled out their profile on the EA Hub.
