Our Mission: To build a multidisciplinary field around using technology—especially AI—to improve the lives of nonhumans now and in the future. Overview Background This hybrid conference had nearly 550 participants and took place March 1-2, 2025 at UC Berkeley. It was organized by AI for Animals for $74k by volunteer core organizers Constance Li, Sankalpa Ghose, and Santeri Tani. This conference has evolved since 2023: The 1st conference mainly consisted of philosophers and was a single track lecture/panel. The 2nd conference put all lectures on one day and followed it with 2 days of interactive unconference sessions happening in parallel and a week of in-person co-working. This 3rd conference had a week of related satellite events, free shared accommodations for 50+ attendees, 2 days of parallel lectures/panels/unconferences, 80 unique sessions, of which 32 are available on Youtube, Swapcard to enable 1:1 connections, and a Slack community to continue conversations year [...] ---Outline:(00:32) Overview(00:35) Background(02:27) Outcomes(03:51) The Event(s)(04:19) Speaking Sessions(04:23) en-US-AvaMultilingualNeural__ Conference presentation scenes with speakers and audience in auditorium setting.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. 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 Gathertown Date: April 1st, 2023, 24 hours and 37 minutes starting at 12:00pm UTC (or “lunch time” for british people) The case for impact Over 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 expect All beings welcomed, that includes infants, face mice, gut microbiome, etc. Expect to have the most impactful time Make more impact than everyone on earth could ever do combined Network with the best minds in ultra-near-termist research Never meet your connections again after the event Certificates of £20 worth of impact just for £10! No success metrics No theory of change No food, no wine, no suffering Check out our official event poster! Pixelated lightbulb that looks like mars as a logo for an unconference (DALL-E) Get involved Take a look at the confernce agenda and add sessions to your calendar Comment on this post with content suggestions and anti-suggestions Sign up for an enlightning talk Unvolunteer for the event UnUnvolunteer 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.

EA - Project Idea: Lots of Cause-area-specific Online Unconferences by Linda Linsefors

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Project Idea: Lots of Cause-area-specific Online Unconferences, published by Linda Linsefors on February 6, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Here's a project idea I have that's been laying around for some time. I think this would be high impact, but I need help to make it happen. It don't have to be this exact setup (which I describe below) as long as the output are more online unconferences for the EA community. I don't do grant applications anymore, due to past event that I'm still emotionally healing from. However if you want to write and submit an application on my behalf, that would be very welcome. Project description can also be found here: Lots of EA Online Unconferences - Google Docs Total budget: $40k - 85k. Summary: We need more online events - from my experience running TAISU and AISU, there are many smart people who can't access existing events because of geographical constraints. I expect this to be true of other cause areas too. I want to hire one person for one year and teach them how to run an online unconference. They'll run 3-4 events on different EA topics of their choice. If things go well, they secure more funding before the end of the year, and keep going. Motivation Online unconferences are low cost and relatively low effort to run, and are also really great. I think this type of event has the highest cost to value ratio out of any event type that I know of. Why more events? EA is growing faster than the infrastructure can keep up with. I'm mostly familiar with AI Safety but I expect the situation to be similar in other areas. Every AI Safety event I know about gets a massive number of applications. There is definitely room for more events. Why cause area specific? Generic EA events are great, but when you've picked what problem to work on, it's much more valuable to connect with people who are interested in the same cause area as you. Those are the people you can have high context discussion with. Those are the people you can team up with to get work done. I count “EA Meta” (e.g. ops, events etc) as a cause area for the purpose of this project, because it seems valuable for people who work in this area to meet up and exchange ideas, and find common solutions to common problems. Why unconferences? Unconferences are great in many ways, but they are especially great in a rapidly growing movement, where the people at the top, can't keep up with or even keep track of the need for infrastructure. Unconferences are self organised around the needs of interests of the participants. This makes them more adaptive but also lower effort to run relatively to other types of events. I'm not saying that unconferences are a one-size-fits-all type of event. There is definitely room for more specialised events too. But everything equal, I think EA would be better off with more unconferences. Why online? Online and offline have different pros and cons. One big advantage with online events is that they are much more accessible. This is important! Even if we have lots of in person events, it's worth having online events too. Accessibility helps in two ways. Firstly there are people who can't attend otherwise for various reasons. Just paying for their travel may not help since the barrier might be time or visa. Secondly, it lowers the cost (in time and money) to attend for everyone. People who would not be willing to pay the time cost for an entire in-person event often choose to join in for just a few sessions of an online event, benefiting both them and everyone else. Allowing people to pick and choose among sessions, rather than commit to a full event, opens up for more specialised sessions. The other main advantage of online events is that they are almost infinitely scalable, much less work to organise, and much lower organising costs. A single person can d...

Betekenisvol zijn na het werkzame levenJohan raakte geïnspireerd om vanuit purpose deel te nemen aan een van onze Unconferences. Daar kon hij proeven aan een nieuwe cultuur. Een omgeving vol wendbaarheid en experimenten. Daar ondervond hij dat het niet bij hem past. Gelukkig hoefde hij met die kennis zijn baan niet op te zeggen. Door samen te werken leerde hij anderen, maar zichzelf nog beter, kennen binnen een onbekende situatie. Falen en opstaan. Nieuwsgierig zijn naar iets onbekends. Houd jij dan de boot af of wil je daar meer van weten? Onze gast Marianne Aal begeleidt mensen die in hun werkzame leven veel ervaring hebben opgedaan. Hun rugzak zit boordevol expertise, maar velen vragen zich af hoe ze dat kunnen doorgeven. Kennis en ervaring overdragen aan nieuwe generaties die dat goed kunnen gebruiken. Dat geeft voldoening en betekenis aan het leven na het werk. Nieuw nut vinden door iets terug te geven. Of dat nou koken, tuinieren, op kleinkinderen passen of iets bijdragen aan de samenleving waar iedereen wat aan heeft is. Dat klinkt simpel, maar omschakelen van werk wat je leven heeft bepaalt naar een nieuwe invulling, is nog niet zo makkelijk. We blijven immers langer gezond en vitaal, dus willen langer doorwerken en zinnige dingen doen. Gebaande paden wijzigen of houden op te bestaan. Hierdoor komt men in transitie, waarbij een draaiboek ontbreekt. Hoe bezint Johan zich, als die nieuwe omgeving het niet voor hem is? Wat is het dan wel? Met Marianne bespreken we hoe dat in elkaar steekt, hoe zij daarbij ondersteunt en wat een betekenisvolle invulling van het leven inhoudt.

Ontwapenend connectie maken met wildvreemde gelijkgestemden Is het geld of trots waardoor jij ambassadeur bent voor wat jij dagelijks doet? Ruim 51 wetenschappelijke onderzoeken tonen aan dat mensen meer voldoening halen uit de zoektocht naar een resultaat dan de materiële beloning. Alleen dan komt de motivatie van binnenuit. Hogere salarissen en bonussen kunnen die intrinsieke motivatie van werknemers zelfs afstompen. Beloningen blijken te werken voor repeterend werk in de fabrieken van Adam Smith, maar niet in de kenniseconomie. In deze tijd willen bedrijven voorop lopen door innovatieve diensten te ontwikkelen. Dan blijkt te lukken als ze creativiteit van medewerkers bundelen en ze helpen bij hun zoektocht naar innovativiteit. Een bedrijfscultuur die dat stimuleert begint aan de voordeur. De essentiële vraag is hoe je connectie maakt met mensen die met jou willen meewerken. Hoe ontmoet je mensen met diverse expertises om hun talenten te leren kennen? Dat kan tijdens een evenement. Daar begint het met de ontvangst. Maar ook een decor bouwen dat past bij het onderwerp dat mensen boeit en bindt. Onze gasten zijn experts op het gebied van hostmanship (buzzword alert 1!) en verbeelding. Plaatjesmaker Jesse Skolnik doet een boekje open over discussies een andere wending geven met bijpassende visuals (buzzword alert 2!). Als mensen er in gesproken taal niet uitkomen, spiegelt hij in beeld zodat het gesprek verder kan.Online eventmanager en gastvrouw Marion van Puijenbroek zoekt voor de evenementen niet standaard vergaderzaaltjes uit, maar onverwachte omgevingen om mensen uit hun comfortzone te halen en dus uit hun standaard denkpatronen. Ze vertelt over het belang van vertrouwen en waarom mensen floreren als ze zich op hun gemak voelen, zowel tijdens offline als online evenementen. Ze laat weten hoe Unconferences een ontwapenend karakter hebben. Hoe het telkens lukt dat mensen het elkaar gunnen naar elkaar te luisteren en belangeloos met elkaar samen te werken? Wat daagt mensen uit om deel te nemen?  Marion en Jesse vertellen je in podcast 5 over het waarom, wat en hoe achter de schermen.Links:Onderzoek onder 5.000 werknemers in Europa over hun betrokkenheid bij hun werk en hoe ze hun werkgevers ervaren in deze Corona tijdBenify Benefits en Engagement ReportRutger Bregman schrijft dat er 51 onderzoeken zijn uitgevoerd die hoe financiële prikkels het morele kompas van werknemers kunnen afstompen en hun creativiteit aantasten.https://decorrespondent.nl/5445/weg-met-controle-leve-de-intrinsiek-gemotiveerde-mens/1792644292890-693b6735Professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University Dan Ariely bespreekt de verschuiving van efficiency tijdens de industriële revolutie naar de huidige kenniseconomie, met innovatieve diensten, waar het gaat om creativiteit en innovativiteit. https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_what_makes_us_feel_good_about_our_work?language=nl#t-1159394Simon Sinek is bekend van de golden circles waar het vooral gaat over betekenis, de WHY. Dat is waarom mensen je product of dienst kopen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeg3lIK8lroDie opvatting vertaalt Sinek door in het interview: How to Build a Company That People Want to Work For Podcast 5: Making a disarming connection with unfamiliar like-minded people Is it money or pride that makes you an ambassador for what you do every day? More than 51 scientific studies show that people get more satisfaction from the search for a result compared to a materialistic reward. This is the only motivation that comes from within. Higher salaries and bonuses can even dull that intrinsic motivation of employees. Rewards seem to work for repetitive work in Adam Smith's factories, but not in the economy of knowledge. Nowadays, companies want to reach the top by developing innovative services. That seems to work if they bundle the creativity of employees and help them in their search for innovation. A company's culture that stimulates this begins at the front door. The essential question is how you make such a connection with people who want to cooperate with you. How do you meet people with different expertise to observe their talent? That's possible during an event. It starts with the reception. But also by building a decor ‘'setting the stage'' fitting with the event's topic that intrigues and connects people. Our guests are experts in hostmanship (buzzword alert 1!) and imagination. Is an online event ‘'search and replace'' physical or slightly different? Visual designer Jesse Skolnik tells us more about changing the course of a discussion with fitting visuals (buzzword alert 2!). If people struggle during a spoken conversation, he mirrors it with visuals to continue the conversation. Online event manager and hostess Marion looks for unexpected settings and locations to lure people out of their comfort zone and usual thinking patterns. She talks about the importance of trust and why people flourish if  they feel comfortable, during offline and online events. She explains why Unconferences have a disarming effect. How do we accomplish to make people want to listen to each other and work together selflessly? What challenges people to get involved? Marion and Jesse tell you  more about why, what and how behind the scenes in podcast 5.

Andrew Middleton travels to Edinburgh on a sunny Saturday to find out about Barcamps. He attends, and takes an active part in BarcampScotland. Barcamps, aka Unconferences, are informal, spontaneous, user-created conferences. Attendees are invited by networked peers. This peer networking approach is the method that ensures the quality and the focus of the event. Once invited you sign up on a barcamp wiki to say you're going and what you're interested in and what you can present on. This episode attempts to capture the essence of the event itself. Later episodes may present some of the talks that went on. The sound quality was not so good on this, so apologies for that. Look at the BarcampScotland wiki for more information: http://barcamp.org/BarCampScotland Search the web for other networked content using the BarcampScotland tag.
