How others can help me
I'm happy talking to anyone, don't hesitate to reach out. Specific things we may want to chat about include;
- How fast/slow and where should EA grow as a movement?
- What lessons can we learn from other movements?
- How much should we focus on people in the core of EA vs on the fringe?
- Do you have a new idea for a cause or project related to EA?
Topics I have been thinking about for a while but still enjoy chatting about:-
- Movement building & strategy
- Meta EA
- Networks vs connections
- New cause areas/interventions
How I can help others
If you're thinking about being a community organiser or are currently organising an EA related group then I'd be happy to share ideas on strategy and community building. Especially for people working on cause specific work or in neglected regions of the world.
I've been an organiser with EA UK since 2015, working part time since 2017 and full time since 2019. I've also had conversations with people setting up groups around the world and also career, cause, interest and workplace related groups.
I have also had quite a few career conversations with people and could be a good sounding board if you had career/project questions.

Self identification makes most sense to me.
For example "at the Leaders Forum 2019, around half of the participants (including key figures in EA) said that they don’t self-identify as "effective altruists". "
I don't know how the cost benefit calculation works out but retreats have different costs than conferences (including some overnight accommodation) and less tangible costs associated with using a different venue for each event.
I would also assume there are quite a few more events that aren't listed online.
Also if there was a way of automating this work, I'd be interested in chatting about that.
