[EN] We're excited to announce EAGxSãoPaulo 2025, a three-day conference in Brazil for people committed to using evidence and reason to do good better.
🗓️ The event will take place on August 22-24, 2025, at the historic Casa de Portugal, just a few minutes from the city center and easily accessible by public transport.
While the event will have a strong focus on the Portuguese-speaking and Latin-American community, we’re excited to welcome participants from any background who want to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the growth of Effective Altruism in the region.
The conference will be multilingual. We expect most content to be in Portuguese, with a considerable amount in Spanish and English as well. We are working to provide translation for most talks and activities.
Whether you're deeply involved in EA or just starting to explore its concepts, this will be a space where you can learn, connect, and take action.
AEBR Summit 2024
Why attend?
Help grow EA in an underserved region with high potential: Brazil has over 220 million people, and Latin America represents nearly 9% of the global population, yet the region remains underrepresented in global EA networks. This event creates pathways for local talent to engage with global priorities while addressing region-specific challenges.
Connect with a motivated, impact-oriented community: Meet people who are already working on high-impact careers, effective giving, and community building across diverse sectors—from global health and development to AI safety and animal welfare.
Explore how global priorities translate to local contexts: The program will cover AI safety, global health, animal welfare, longtermism, and cause prioritization, with dedicated spaces to discuss implementation and opportunities specific to Latin America and Portuguese-speaking regions.
Access a growing network: Brazil's EA community has been rapidly expanding, with active groups across multiple universities and a growing number of professionals transitioning to high-impact careers.

An experienced community member from elsewhere who wants to support regional growth or discover overlooked opportunities.
If you’re unsure whether to apply, we strongly encourage you to do so — don’t worry about your language level. We’re working to make the conference as accessible as possible for a multilingual audience.

I used AI to fix transcription errors, rerrarange the ideas, and suggest tweaks to the title and some sentences.
Three of the most exciting projects to come out of EA in recent years are, in a vague sense, CEA spinouts:
* Kairos is directly a spinout of CEA and now handles most support for university AI safety groups. Basically everyone I've found who knows them is really excited about what they do
* NEST is an opinionated ideas-fi...
Hello! I'm Justin Portela. I got hired by GWWC to make YouTube videos after AI in Context did such a kickass job.Â
My channel is using that same cinematic, high-production value beauty to talk about everything in the EA universe that isn't AI.Â

So exciting to see that you are doing the first EAGx in South America (if I’m not mistaken)!
