EA Global: San Francisco 2026

__Effective Altruism Summit: Brussels__ is a one-day conference taking place on __Saturday, 7 February 2026 at Flagey__ bringing together experienced professionals to explore effective altruism and how its ideas can shape their career choices and professional impact.

### About the Summit

We are living through a pivotal moment in history: Technologies like AI and biotechnology are advancing rapidly, while decisions made in Brussels on global health, pandemic preparedness, and animal welfare ripple far beyond Europe’s borders. But how do we decide which problems deserve our attention when resources are limited and stakes are high?

EA Summit: Brussels offers a space for experienced professionals to think more deliberately about these questions. Over a full day of talks and interactive discussions, you’ll engage with effective altruism—a global community and way of thinking focused on achieving the greatest positive impact and bringing more clarity and structure to difficult choices between competing priorities.

The summit connects people who care about getting these choices right. You’ll hear from practitioners who’ve applied this thinking in their own work, explore how it might apply to yours, and meet others wrestling with similar questions. The day is built around conversation and reflection as much as talks and workshops, with the aim of helping you think more clearly about where your skills can make the greatest difference, and providing evergreen resources to support that goal.


### Who is the event for?

The summit is designed for mid-career to senior professionals who are new to effective altruism and want to think more clearly about how they can contribute to solving important global problems. We’re particularly interested in people with several years of experience, established skills, or roles where they help shape decisions or drive initiatives.

To best support this newer audience, we also welcome professionals with extensive knowledge of effective altruism or experience working in established EA organisations or causes. We will be reaching out directly to many such individuals and organisations, but if you’d like to contribute as a speaker or ambassador, please contact us at __summit@eabrussels.org__.


### Program highlights

You can expect:

- An introduction to effective altruism and other engaging talks covering global priorities including extreme poverty, AI governance, and animal welfare.
- An organisation fair where you can meet over 12 organisations working on the biggest problems in the world.
- Workshops on how effective altruism principles can inform clearer thinking and sound decision-making in your professional life.
- A space to connect with a growing international community committed to evidence-based impact.

Confirmed speakers include: Tobias Leenaert from [ProVeg International](https://proveg.org), Mathieu Spillebeen from [Effectief Geven](https://www.effectiefgeven.be), Alex Holst from [The Good Food Institute](https://gfi.org), Kirsty Henderson from [Anima International](https://animainternational.org), and Céline Kamsteeg from [Lafiya](https://lafiyanigeria.org).

We’re in the process of designing the event program. The full schedule will be announced closer to the date.


### Location

The conference takes place at Flagey, an Art Deco cultural space and formerly the headquarters of the national radio and television institution.
