EAGxBerkeley is an Effective Altruism conference organized especially for EA communities in the Bay Area and the Western USA. The conference will take place on September 7-8 at the beautiful Lighthaven campus in Berkeley, California. 

The conference will focus on a diverse range of cause areas, local community building, and knowledge sharing. It will offer networking, workshops, presentations, and small group gatherings for around 500 attendees dedicated to addressing some of the world’s greatest challenges.
