EAGxAustralia 2020

Join us at EAGxAustralia, the annual conference for the effective altruism community in Australia and New Zealand. The aim of the event is to help you increase your knowledge, skills and networks to be able to achieve as much good as possible. 

Effective altruism is about answering one simple question: how can we use our resources to help others the most? Rather than just follow intuitions, we believe that we should use evidence and careful analysis to find the most pressing problems and the best ways to solve them. Find out more here.

This year’s conference is on the 25th – 27th of September, and will be held at the Australian National University. Conference tickets include: two full days of conference talks, workshops, meetups and more; access to our academic sister event, the Workshop on Global Priorities; a catered reception and keynote event on Friday night; catered meals throughout the conference; and evening social events on Saturday and Sunday. The details for the keynote will be added soon.

Come along to:
- Attend dozens of talks, workshops, meetups and discussions
- Discover how you can do good better
- Discuss the latest ideas in the field of effective altruism
- Coordinate on global and local projects with experts in creating impact
- Meet like-minded, altruistic people
- Share new research and ideas

We will have international and domestic experts discussing a wide range of topics including global poverty, international development, catastrophic risks, animal welfare, biosecurity, great power conflict, risks from artificial intelligence, and nuclear security.

We have limited capacity and expect to sell out early, so please make sure to secure a place as soon as you can. Early-bird tickets are available from April 30th until sold out. We also have a limited financial aid available for individuals in need - please contact us at contact@eagxaustralia.com if you need financial aid.

In the event that we need to cancel the conference, we will refund 100% the purchase price to all ticket holders.

We can’t wait to see you there!
