What does effective altruism in South Africa look like to you?
We're asking everyone in the EA community to answer that question through design.
Attendees, volunteers, students, creatives, and organisers are all welcome to enter, and you don't need any formal design experience.
All you need is an idea and an application to attend the summit.
Your entry can be serious, creative, funny, or carry a local twist. However you choose to answer the question is entirely up to you.
Deadline for applications is 1 October 2026. Apply here: https://tally.so/r/Ek2yb2
One Day.
The World’s Most Pressing Problems.
With The People Actually Doing Something About Them.
EA Summit: South Africa returns for its third year. We’re bringing together leaders, professionals and students from across South Africa for a full day of evidence, ideas and action in Cape Town.
Whether you’re encountering effective altruism for the first time or you’ve been doing the work for years, you’ll leave with sharper thinking, real connections and a concrete next step.
What to Expect
Who Is The Effective Altruism Summit For?
This Event Is Designed For People Who Get Things Done!
The summit is open to everyone - and designed for the accomplished, the ambitious and the action-oriented. If you lead a team, run an organisation, fund good work, or you’re ready to point your career at the problems that matter most, this day is for you.
Come curious. Leave with a next step: a role to apply for, an initiative to start, a pledge to make.
