The Meta Coordination Forum (formerly known as the Coordination or Leaders Forum) is an annual event for a few dozen core members of the effective altruism community, run by the Centre for Effective Altruism. The event seeks to improve coordination among thought leaders, organization founders and major donors, by building relationships, hosting strategy discussions and collaborating on various projects.

The event has been run every year since 2016 when it was launched as the “Leader's Forum”^[1]. In 2020, it was renamed to “Coordination Forum”^[2] to emphasize that the event centered on coordination and decision-making^[3] (instead of community leadership), and from 2022 onwards, the event became known as the “Meta Coordination Forum”.

Surveys

Surveys of Coordination Forum attendees have been run at each Meta Coordination Forum event. Results and analyses of some of these surveys have been published by 80,000 Hours^[4][5][6] and on the Effective Altruism Forum.^[1]
