Members are encouraged to network with others with similar interests and are free to discuss and meet people outside of these specific cause areas.

Dress: If you’re unsure how you’d like to dress for the event, we suggest business casual, but anything you’re comfortable with is fine!
Goals for the event:
We want you to use this event to connect with lots of other EA DC members who can help you:
Be more effective in the career you currently have
Prioritize what to work on and where to work on it
Learn about EA activity in each cause area and professional field
Connect professionally and socially to the EA community in DC in general
You should aim to have many conversations with different people and make yourself available to talk to people about what you do and what you’re interested in. Some attendees will have extensive high-level experience in their cause area, while others will be new or still studying for a degree.
You can decide for yourself how you would like to keep in touch with members after the event. We encourage you to connect on LinkedIn and share other contact info with everyone you have a valuable conversation with.
Rules and Expectations:
Please keep all conversations professional and on-topic. Be polite and welcoming to everyone.
Try to avoid EA buzzwords and extensive technical language unless you know that the other person knows what you’re talking about. Expect to speak with EAs at very different career stages.
