EA Summit HK 2027 Event Date: March 2027
Location: Hong Kong

​

About the Summit
Building on the success of our 2026 event, Effective Altruism Hong Kong is thrilled to announce the EA Summit Hong Kong 2027. The summit is a dedicated gathering for individuals who want to think seriously about how they can use their resources and careers to solve the world's most pressing problems. We bring together people from a wide range of impact-aligned fields to foster meaningful conversations, share promising ideas, and support one another in taking thoughtful, high-impact action based on evidence and reason. The thematic focus of the conference will be on effective philanthropy, in line with EAHK's GiveWise effective giving initiative.

 

Organisation overview

Effective Altruism Hong Kong (EAHK) is a Hong Kong–registered charity that helps people apply ideas from effective altruism to do more good with their time, money, and careers. EAHK runs events, fellowships, and community programmes, and provides guidance on effective giving to high-impact charities globally and locally through the GiveWise website/platform. 

​

GiveWise is a project by Effective Altruism Hong Kong that makes it easy for Hong Kong donors to give tax-efficiently to high-impact charities worldwide. GiveWise is currently a simple donation portal that supports one-time and recurring giving, credit card and bank transfer payments, and custom charity allocations.

We are currently recruiting 1–2 individuals to join the our summit core organising team, which also includes our MD Kenneth Chan and Development Specialist Jeffrey Fung.
