Conferences
Final call for two conference applications - apply by January 21

EAG Bay Area: Global Catastrophic Risks: 2/2 - 2/4, Oakland
The first EA Global conference tailored to a specific theme, this event will be most valuable to participants working on AI risks, biosecurity, other global catastrophic risks, and relevant cross-cause areas (i.e. work in policy and community building). 

EAGxLATAM: February 2/16 - 2/18, Mexico City
The event should be particularly useful for (those from Latin America OR) those well-experienced with EA and looking to expand their professional networks.

If you have any questions or concerns about either of these events, their applications, logistics, or otherwise, please do not hesitate to contact Alex or Rocky (via call, email, Slack, etc.)! These conferences can be a great opportunity to expand your network, connect with collaborators, and explore ideas and opportunities for effective altruism pursuits.

Even if you don't want to attend these particular events, we encourage you to connect with us so you can plan to join future conferences!
