A career can be more than just a way to earn money.
Over a lifetime, most of us will spend tens of thousands of hours at work. That is enough time to have a real impact on the world around us.
EA Summit Warsaw is an event for people who want to build their careers intentionally. For those who do not ask only, "what will be good for me?", but also, "where can I do the most good?".
On October 3 in Warsaw, you will meet people working to solve the most important challenges of our time: from AI safety and preventing future pandemics to global health and animal welfare. You will hear from experts, take part in workshops, and meet people who turn good intentions into effective action.
If you are looking for a career that has meaning, this is the place for you.

Participation in EA Summit Warsaw 2026 is paid. The ticket price includes the conference, vegan lunch, snacks, coffee/tea and access to the conference app.
A ticket costs PLN 99, roughly the same as lunch and coffee in the city center—with the difference that here you also get a full day of talks and conversations, as well as refreshments (lunch and coffee breaks).
We want the cost not to be an obstacle for people who would like to participate in the event. If the ticket price could prevent you from participating, write to us at summit@efektywnyaltruizm.org before filling out the application form. We will try to help and find a solution together.
