This year, 175 EAs will gather in Berkeley, CA for a two-day conference -- the largest gathering of people in the EA movement to date.

We still have spots left, and we are especially interested in having people who are new to the movement and aren't yet working on something related to EA full-time. The event is a great place to meet everyone who is serious about EA, learn a whole lot about the different projects people are working on, build friendships, and start collaborations.

Here is a short video of what last year's Summit was like.

There will be people there from:

• The Center for Applied Rationality
• GiveWell
• GiveDirectly
• The Machine Intelligence Research Institute
• The Future of Humanity Institute
• The Life You Can Save
• 80,000 Hours
• Giving What We Can
• Leverage Research

-- and others.

The event costs $600, but we can offer discounted tickets to people who can't pay full price. If you are interested in coming but money is a barrier, please don't be shy -- let us know through the form on the website and we will do everything we can to get you a spot. If you can pay full price, you'll be helping to cover other EAs. None of the organizations involved will profit from the event.

You can get more info and register to attend by filling out the form on the summit website.

The Retreat, mentioned in Ben's previous post, is full. If you note interest in the retreat on your Summit registration, we'll let you know if any space opens up last-minute.
