Could you clarify what the "We’ll also hear from our community members on where they donate and why!" part consists of during the main event?
Specifically, I see that there's more opportunity to talk about this topic in the Gathertown event after the main event, but I'm curious if event attendees will get an opportunity to share where they donated and why during the main event, or if the content on this during the main event is going to consist of something pre-planned from already selected-members of the community (such that main-event attendees will just be passively listening and pehaps answering a few poll questions).

We'll also be prompting people to let us know in the chat during the YouTube event!

This month effective altruism has gotten lots of attention, including a cover story in The Economist. It feels pretty surreal to be on the receiving end of it. But I feel grateful these ideas have caught on, and even more grateful for the drive, earnestness, and compassion of so many people who took strange but well-argued ideas seriously and then actually acted on them....
