Bio
My name is Gergő, and my academic background is in psychology. I’m the director at the European Network for AI Safety and founder of Amplify, a marketing agency dedicated to helping fieldbuilding projects. My journey into communitybuilding started in 2019 with organising EA meetups on a volunteer basis.
I started doing full-time paid work in CB in 2021, when I founded an EA club at my university (it wasn’t supposed to be full-time at least at the beginning, but you know how it is). This grew into a city group and eventually into a national group called EA Hungary. We also spun out an AIS group in 2022, which I’m still leading. AIS Hungary is one of the few AIS groups that have 2+ FTE working for them.
Previously I was a volunteer charity analyst and analysis coordinator for SoGive, an experience I think of fondly and I’m grateful for. I have also done some academic research in psychology.

Great post, thanks for writing! I think volunteering is underrated in EA.
This is just an anecdote, but when I was trying to get into the EA mental health space, I was volunteering for SoGive. We happened to start working on a project on mental health. It allowed me a chance to connect and attend a call with the director of StrongMinds, despite having heard of EA only a few months ago.
Hey! I have written this post to help people get the most out of conferences. Perhaps it can be a useful read before the conference :)
