Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Who would you like to see speak at EA Global?, published by Jordan Pieters on August 8, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
I'm Jordan, I recently joined as the Content Coordinator on the EA Global team at CEA, and I'd love to hear from the community about what content you'd like to see at future conferences. You can see upcoming conference dates
here.
How do we usually select content?
Traditionally, our content selection focuses on:
Informing attendees about important developments in relevant fields (eg. founders discussing new organisations or projects, researchers sharing their findings)
Diving deeper into key ideas with experts
Teaching new skills relevant to EA work
Some recent sessions that were well-received included:
Panel - When to shut down: Lessons from implementers on winding down projects
Talk - Neela Saldanha: Improving policy take-up and implementation in scaling programs
Workshop - Zac Hatfield Dodds: AI Safety under uncertainty
However, we recognise that conference content can (and perhaps should) fulfil many other roles, so your suggestions shouldn't be constrained by how things have been done in the past.
What kinds of suggestions are we looking for?
We welcome suggestions in various forms:
Specific speakers: Nominate people who you think would make great speakers (this can be yourself!).
Topic proposals: Suggest topics that you believe deserve more attention.
Session format ideas: Propose unique formats that could make sessions more engaging (e.g., discussion roundtables, workshops, debates).
To get an idea of what types of content we've had in the past, check out
recordings from previous EA Global conferences.
We have limited content slots at our conferences, which means we can't promise to follow up on every suggestion. However, every suggestion helps us better understand what our attendees want to see and can provide jumping-off points for new ideas.
How to Submit Your Suggestions:
Comment on this post and discuss your ideas with other forum users.

this form or email
speakers@eaglobal.org if you'd prefer not to post publicly.
Your input can help shape future EAGs to be even more impactful. I look forward to hearing your suggestions!
