INTERESTED IN DOING THE MOST GOOD YOU CAN DO?

Join us for the next annual effective altruism conference in Canberra, Australia!

EAGxAustralia is the annual conference held by the effective altruism community in Australia and Oceania. The conference aims to increase participants’ knowledge, skills and networks so we can all achieve as much good as possible.

Effective altruism is about answering one simple question: how can we use our resources to most effectively help others? Rather than just following our intuitions, Effective altruists believe that we should use evidence and careful analysis to find the most important causes and the best ways to work on them.

PURPOSE

EAGx conferences give you the opportunity to:

• Meet like-minded, altruistic people
• Discover how you can do good better
• Familiarise yourself with core concepts within effective altruism
• Attend dozens of talks and workshops
• Discuss the latest ideas in the field of effective altruism
• Share new research and ideas
• Coordinate on global and local projects with experts in creating impact
