  Hi Alex, thanks for the kind words and thoughtful suggestion!

  We actually run online events every other month, and everyone’s welcome to join. I’ll be setting up the next one soon, so I recommend following the Compassionate Future Initiative group page to stay in the loop.

  As for the summit, making it hybrid would unfortunately compromise the community atmosphere we’re aiming to create. For more classic conference-style formats, where a safe, close-knit setting is less crucial, we might consider hybrid options in the future.

  Hope to see you at one of the events—online or in person. :)

  There’s no formal application deadline, but spots are limited and filling up at a considerable pace ;)

  As preparation this time, I encourage people to develop a Suffering Abolitionists Project Prize proposal for e.g. XPRIZE (deadline 05 May 2024)

  https://​​www.xprize.org/​​designstudio

  
  Questions to answer:
  

  1. What is the problem you hope to address through this prize competition?

  3. Describe the specific challenges (political, economic, social, technological, legal, environmental) currently slowing and/​or preventing progress in this area?

  4. Describe what the winning team must do to win your proposed prize.

  5. Describe the competition format and provide any specific judging criteria. Eg Staged down select, a first to achieve, head to head race, best in class, with or without bonus prices...

  6. What is the duration of your prize competition?

  7. What size prize purse would motivate a team to compete?

  8. What will be the immediate and lasting impacts of running this prize competition?

  9. Propose a name for your prize concept.

  Hi everyone, again I want to cultivate the habit of using the commenting function (here in the EA Forum, in FB and in Discord) as a motivating accountability tool for sharing what one is working on/​ planning to share at the event.

  For me, I might talk a little bit about the “Wild Animals in Urban Spaces: How Cities Can Promote Wild Animal Welfare in the Built Environment” talk, and share about my increased engagement in EA Munich and the potentials. Looking forward to seeing you all in about 10,5 hours (if I counted correctly)

  Hi everyone,

  I will be sharing insights from the IARC2023, where I gave a workshop and attended a bunch of stuff. Looking forward to hearing from everyone again :)

  📣 In 12 hours we have our next meetup: 15 October 2022 at 07:00 am **UTC**!
  
  As always, in order for everyone to make the most of the event, please make a commitment to work on a topic of your choice relevant to suffering abolitionism. Our list of initiatives should serve as inspiration. But there is no need to make big commitments. Reading an article is fine too! Note: The more precise you are with what you choose to commit to, the more committed you will feel to actually do it. Even better if you share what you committed yourself to. E.g. as a comment here.
  
  As inspiration for cause areas to work on, check out the following mind maps:
  Abolition of suffering: cause areas and interventions: https://​​suffering-abolition.github.io/​​mechanisms-and-causes-of-suffering/​​
  Finding your niche of engagement—from first steps to career forming: https://​​suffering-abolition.github.io/​​intervention-mindmap-against-suffering/​​
  
  Excited to talk to you soon! 😊

  Only two days left until the next meetup :D

  I am also planning to attend EAGxBerlin (16 − 18 September), EAGxVirtual (21 − 23 October) and EAGxRotterdam (4 − 6 November). See https://​​www.eaglobal.org/​​.

  We hope to organize suffering abolitionist lightning talks and meetups during these events.

  Let us know whether you plan to attend and are interested to meetup, or whether you know of other conferences and events that we should attend to advocate for Suffering Abolitionism.

  Hi @ everyone. Just wanting to share that I just booked for myself „LUXORY“ room with ⁶⁄₇ beds mixed – FLEX (no breakfast as I am vegan) at the Grand Hostel Berlin, Tempelhofer Ufer 14. (I paid about 25€ /​ night)
  
  I highly encourage other EAs, particularly people interested in suffering abolitionism/​ suffering focused ethics to book there as well to increase networking benefits. ;)

  Also, a messenger group could be nice for networking. Should I start one? Would Telegram work for everyone?
