We’re excited to meet up and do some speed friending at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture (the lovely hosts of our EAGxNYC Picnic last month)!
Speed friending is a series of guided paired discussions: you get paired randomly with someone to meet for 5 min, and given a couple of guiding questions, and then after 5 min you switch to the next person - and so on for an hour. It’s a great way to meet a lot of new people in the community at once! Afterward, we’ll hang out in the space for ~1 hr; snacks and drinks will be provided!

For those new to effective altruism, here are a couple of good introductions. In short, EA is about using evidence to carefully analyze how, given limited resources, we can help others the *most*.
