Our first conferences in Latin America and India

In the first two weeks of January, we had the first EA conferences to take place in Latin America and India: EAGxLatAm in Mexico City and EAGxIndia in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Lots of EAGx events happen every year, and we don’t usually post about each one. But these events are particularly special as two of the largest EA conferences to take place in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) and the first ever in each region.

EAGxLatAm was organised by community builders from the Spanish-speaking EA community with support from CEA. Over 200 people attended, around one-third of them from Mexico and 5% or more from the US, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Spain.

EAGxIndia was organised by community builders based in India with support from CEA. 163 people attended: ~70% of attendees came from within India, ~9% from the UK and ~9% from the US.

We were already excited about supporting more events outside of EA hubs, especially in LMICs. These events make us even more excited that such events can produce a lot of value, and we’re looking forward to sharing more about our work supporting EA communities in LMICs.

You can read more about how these events went in our EA Forum post.
