We also know that some people who haven't had the opportunity to spend much time with effective altruism concepts would still be fantastic attendees at the conference, __if in any doubt we encourage you to apply!__

As a regional EAGx, we prioritise applicants from [Australasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australasia).

## Schedule

The conference programme will run between 6pm - 9pm on Friday evening and between 9am - 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. There will also be opportunities to connect with other attendees in the evenings.

Funding is available to support travel to the conference for those that would not be able to attend otherwise. The maximum support available depends on your location, with more available for greater distances within Australia and New Zealand.

It will offer networking, workshops, presentations, and small group gatherings for around 1500 attendees dedicated to addressing some of the world’s greatest challenges.

## Why attend?

EAG(x) events have a track record of fostering new connections in the effective altruism community. Attendees receive the necessary information or encouragement to apply for a job, an internship, or a program that supports their further development.

- Connect: Meet like-minded people passionate about making a positive impact.
- Learn: Engage with groundbreaking ideas through talks and workshops.
- Grow: Map out your professional path, identify next steps, and develop your application skills.
- Find work: Introduce yourself to impactful organizations looking for new hires.

EAGxVirtual is particularly impactful for connecting with our diverse community, many of whom have not been able to attend in-person events. This will probably be the most accessible EA conference, and we encourage anyone who has a genuine interest to apply!
