We welcome anyone who can demonstrate in their application that they are interested in learning more about EA and are thoughtful, capable, and highly motivated. We recognize the importance of diverse backgrounds and especially encourage individuals from groups that have historically been underrepresented to apply.

We are prepared to reimburse travel expenses for some attendees. Travel support funds are limited, so please only request funding if you would not be able to attend without it. Whether or not you request travel funding will have no bearing on the outcome of your application.
Direct recommendations are the best way to get high-quality attendees who can benefit from and provide value to the conference. If you have anybody in your network that you think would be encouraged by a nudge to apply, please reach out to them with a link to the conference information and application and/or resources found in this document.
