Don’t miss the application deadline

The EA Picnic is coming up soon (July 11), and the deadline to submit an application is 11:59 pm PT on Sunday, June 20.

It’s been too long since our last non-virtual event. This is a fantastic way to connect with people again, and to have memorable conversations face to face. As one applicant put it:

“I’d love to see people I haven’t seen in a while and renew friendships, also make some new ones!”

We plan to combine the best parts of picnics and conferences, while avoiding ants (we hope) and PowerPoint presentations (we promise).

Help us make the event better

Here are some things we are thinking of doing at the picnic. We’d love to hear more suggestions in the comments. 

• Lawn games
• Board games
• Flower crowns
• Caricaturist
• Photo booth
• Vegan ice cream
• Firepits
• Picnic blankets
• Speed meetings
• 1-1 meeting tables

As an optional prompt, what are some things you’ve enjoyed doing if you’ve been able to spend more time outside/with people lately?
