Hi all,
CEA is exploring plans for EAGxUK 2026 (September) in coordination with EA UK and would really value your input.
We’re collecting expressions of interest to help estimate likely attendance and better understand the geographic distribution of potential participants. Completing the form does not commit you to attending — it simply helps inform planning.
If you’re interested in attending, please take 2–3 minutes to fill this form out by 20th February.
If you haven't signed up for the EA UK newsletter yet, consider signing up here.
Thanks in advance — and feel free to share this with others in your network who might be interested.
If you are interested in being part of the organising team, fill out this EOI form.
I am strongly in favour of Manchester for a conference. Oxford and Cambridge are quite annoying to get to from almost anywhere except London. People who haven't been before might not realise this.
I also worry that this form will mostly reach people in the south of England, since they will be more likely to be signed up to the EA UK newsletter as it has historically mainly catered to London.
I will try to circulate this form with groups and individuals in the North of England, Wales, and Scotland before the deadline.
Also, Oxford and Cambridge are likely going to be more expensive than Manchester, where we could maybe even get a free venue.
I also expect that people voting for Oxford and Cambridge will be more likely to apply and get accepted to EAG London. So they may benefit less from an EAGx than others.
