EA Global is coming to New York City for the very first time, from October 10–12 at the Sheraton Times Square! And you can apply now! Why NYC, you might ask?
1. Close to policy
With the United Nations based in NYC and DC just a train ride away, NYC is well-placed to host policy professionals working on pressing global issues like AI governance, pandemic preparedness, foreign aid, and more.
2. Media capital
NYC is often called the media capital of the world, hosting major publishers and media outlets. We’re excited to welcome both writers and communications professionals to this event.
3. Philanthropic hub
NYC is home to some of the world’s most influential philanthropic organizations. It’s also a base for funders supporting projects across global health, biosecurity, AI safety, and more. We’re excited to welcome both grantmakers and those pursuing earning to give.
4. Animal welfare, biosecurity, and digital minds
Each EA Global event is partly shaped by its location, influenced by the nearby professional networks and communities. At NYC, we expect to see more experts in animal welfare, digital minds, and biosecurity, drawing from existing communities in NYC, Boston, and DC.
5. One of the largest EA communities
NYC hosts one of the biggest and most active local EA communities globally!
Apply here by September 28!
+1. I don’t know about attention, but I do think the ‘community’ tag has a vibe of being ‘less important’ than posts without the tag. I think this is mostly a feature of the community itself and what users want the forum to be primarily focussed on. I don’t mind this, even though I personally enjoy community posts just as much, and I also like the separation. But, if my vibes-based sense is correct, then that does make the system by which posts are tagged slightly more consequential. So I think it’s good that Arepo looked into this and is bringing it up. Thanks for doing that!
