Thanks for the kind words!

To answer your question:
- One person said it to me, and another wrote it in the feedback form: it can be hard to understand how an organization can amend their activities to be more effective, concretely. Another person found the event "too theorical".
- I personally think it examples contribute a lot to making the ideas clearer and more convincing.

I'm really thrilled that you seized this opportunity to speak to many people (and become one of the relatively rare speakers to discuss a moral atrocity on that stage).
With the Dwarkesh Patel podcast episode you recently did, this is very, very encouraging. Thank you so much.

Thanks a lot for maintaining this space! It's been great coworking with you and others in GatherTown, I love how it creates a cozy, friendly atmosphere akin to that of a physical office.
Strong reco for others to come (especially remote workers) and experiment with this solution.

Thank you for the write-up. It's been quite impressive and very positive to see the development of Mieux Donner, kudos to the cofounders, the early hires, as well as Ambitious Impact who gave the push to most of the recently-launched effective giving initiatives!!

Great! I'm very interested in how this compares with the most beloved EA format: the "fellowship". If this works well, it will present a number of advantages: more dense; less need for planning; basically no dropping out.

Funny to notice that with my usual "funnel-based" thinking I'd have listed these workshops in the reverse order.

Hey @JoA🔸 , I was considering having a translation (maybe adapted to our cultural context) on EA France's website, if @Jeff Kaufman 🔸 is giving us his blessing :)

Hi, thanks for the post!

After discussing with other group organizers, 2 interesting ideas came up and I wanted to share them for CEA's consideration - I hope I'm not repeating something written elsewhere:

• Referral codes that group organizers might give some specific members to signal that they're recommending these applicants.
• Some kind of referral-rewarding program that encourages people to invite new people to apply to EAG(x) events.

(both options might involve something called "referral codes" but they are very distinct things).

This sounds like a nice, helpful tool that I intuitively think will be valuable to ensure people think clearly about how to make efforts in a concrete directions. I really like the 3 "paths" for this.

I don't understand this, though: how do you suggest tracking people's answers to this tool? How is the data consolidated?

Really nice to make this a part of the EAG family framework!

Regarding the naming: I guess it depends on the location, but for instance in France, a lot of people we'd like to participate still have not heard about EA. In such contexts, I think it's probably a better idea to avoid calling the event "EA <something>" and to choose something like "Impact <summit? day? expo? ignition?>", so that even people not familiar with the movement can have an idea about the theme as soon as they hear the title.

Interesting topic ideas, thanks in advance Gergő!

Quick question: why not write on the EA Forum? I am not convinced by "the most valuable conversations on field building are happening when people share their hot takes at conferences, retreats, or between staff members of fieldbuilding orgs that are just a bit too edgy to write up for the EA forum". Is it just a better "writer experience"?

To be clear, I am interested enough in your views that I went to Substack and subscribed to your newsletter! It seems to me that for your topics, there are much stronger reasons to stay on the forum than for leaving it: I suppose you'll get more readers; it will be more convenient for said readers; there's a good comments system; the audio transcription; there are previous of within-forum links; and probably other important things I'm forgetting.

If you want people to take your writings less seriously, and to be able to write without spending hours reviewing your texts, maybe you could use the "quick takes"?

(super interested to hear what was in favor of Substack! :) )
