This is: Save the Date April 1st 2023 EAGatherTown: UnUnConference, published by Vaidehi Agarwalla on March 20, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.We're excited to officially announce the very first EA UnUnConference! APPLY HERE.Naming What We Can, the most impactful post ever published on April 1st, have already volunteered to host a Q&A. We’re calling in the producers of the TV hit Impact Island, and would like to invite Peter Barnett to launch his new book What The Future Owes Us. The X-risk-Men Incubation Program is running an enlightening talks session.Location: Mars in GathertownDate: April 1st, 2023, 24 hours and 37 minutes starting at 12:00pm UTC (or “lunch time” for british people)The case for impactOver the years, humanity realized that Unconferences are a great twist of traditional conferences, since the independence gives room for more unexpected benefits to happen.For the reason, we’re experimenting with the format of an UnUnconference. This means we’ll actively try not to organize anything, therefore (in expectancy) achieving even more unexpected benefits.We encourage you to critique our (relatively solid, in our opinion) theory of change in the comments!We understand this is not the most ambitious we could be. Although we fall short of the dream of EAGxMars, we believe this Ununconference is a proof-of-concept that will help validate the model of novel, experimental conferences and possibly redefine what impact means for EA events for years to come.This team is well placed to unorganize this event because we have previously successfully not organized 10^10 possible events.What to expectAll beings welcomed, that includes infants, face mice, gut microbiome, etc.Expect to have the most impactful timeMake more impact than everyone on earth could ever do combinedNetwork with the best minds in ultra-near-termist researchNever meet your connections again after the eventCertificates of £20 worth of impact just for £10!No success metricsNo theory of changeNo food, no wine, no sufferingCheck out our official event poster!Pixelated lightbulb that looks like mars as a logo for an unconference (DALL-E)Get involvedTake a look at the confernce agenda and add sessions to your calendarComment on this post with content suggestions and anti-suggestionsSign up for an enlightning talkUnvolunteer for the eventUnUnvolunteer for the event (your goal will be to actively unorganize stuff)UnUnUnvolunteer for the event (your goal will be to actively ununorganize stuff).. And so on. We think at least 5 levels of volunteers will be necessary for this event to be a complete success, to minimize risk of not falling into the well known meta trap.Thanks for listening.
