Whether you've just discovered the EA movement and want to learn more or you’re very familiar with the central ideas and have experience working in a cause area, this conference is a great opportunity to attend thought-provoking talks and connect with like-minded people.

### Application Process

__[Apply to the conference](https://effectivealtruism.my.site.com/EAGlobal/s/eagxcdmxapplication) (~5-15 minutes) by March 2nd.__ We collect basic details, ask about your engagement with effective altruism, etc.

__Our team will review your application.__ We aim to respond to applications within 10 business days, and will be in touch about your application regardless of outcome. Most people in our region who are interested in EA are accepted!

__Register for the conference (~5 minutes).__ If you’ve been accepted, you’ll receive an email with a link to register and confirm your place at the conference. At this stage you’ll be asked about dietary requirements and other logistic details, as well as indicate if you’ll be available to volunteer and/or elect to donate to offset event costs.

Feel free to contact cdmx@eaglobalx.org with any questions. If you want to attend but are unsure about whether to apply, please just apply anyway!

### Who should attend

EAGxCDMX is intended for individuals new to the EA movement as well as those who already use EA principles in their work and career. All attendees should have engaged with EA content for at least 10 hours, and the event is particularly well-suited for:

- Students based in Mexico who want to learn more about EA and related career paths
- Local residents looking to engage further with the community
- Experienced EAs from anywhere in the world, interested in expanding their network and understanding of the LATAM community

This event is mainly intended to strengthen the Spanish-speaking EA community, so we are aiming for 50 to 65% of the content to be in Spanish, with the remainder in English. We expect many attendees to only speak Spanish, and some international attendees who don’t speak Spanish at all, and believe the conference will provide valuable connections and talks for both groups (and everyone in between).

If the cost of attending is too high for your budget, you can apply for travel support while filling out your application. Please note that travel support funds are limited, and we won't be able to accommodate all requests. We recommend that you don’t assume your request will be granted, though if this happens, it’s likely the result of limited funds rather than an evaluation of your potential for impact. Your chances of receiving travel assistance increase the sooner you apply. Please check our [travel support policy](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vLmDJKQZ2aLHjS_F3MLo7N2UYpPgdsZ-_LIuLMAsx5g/edit?usp=sharing) for more details.
