EA Global 2026: Applications Now Open

By Ivan Burduk @ 2025-11-26T14:43 (+16)

Applications are now open for EA Global 2026!

We're thrilled to be returning to San Francisco and the US East Coast, and building on the momentum from EA Global: London 2025—our largest conference to date!

Conference Schedule

In 2026, we're planning to host three events: 

1. EA Global: San Francisco, February 13-15
2. EA Global: London, May 29-31
3. EA Global: East Coast USA, Oct/Nov (more details coming soon)

We'd love to see you there!

How does it work?

There’s just one application form for all 2026 EA Global events. This means: 

• Approval to EA Global 2026 allows you to register for all EA Globals that year.
• If your financial circumstances prevent you from attending EA Global, we have limited support available for those who couldn't attend without it. You can request this via an event-specific request form during the application process.
• If you are not approved for EA Global 2026, you can re-apply once applications for the next upcoming conference have closed. 

Why attend EA Global?

We believe these events are a powerful way to:

• Facilitate coordination around pressing global challenges
• Support professional development and career growth
• Enable meaningful collaboration among those working on EA-aligned issues

New to EA? Consider EAGx

We also host a variety of regional EAGx conferences designed for those newer to effective altruism and those supporting newcomers. Find upcoming EAGx events on our website.
