Stanford Existential Risks Conference, April 20-22, 2023

From Global Catastrophes to Existential Risks: Intersections, Reinforcements, and Cascades

Sponsored by: Stanford Existential Risks Initiative

The Center for International Security and Cooperation We're pleased to announce SERI’s 2023 Existential Risks Conference. You can now sign up to attend in-person, subject to our limited available space, or online. Preliminary information about the conference schedule, logistics, and frequently asked questions is available below.

Our 3rd annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference aims to take stock of global catastrophic and existential risk studies. A special focus of this year's meeting will be risk intersections, reinforcements, and cascades: how one risk may amplify (or diminish) another, and how multiple risks interact to create new concerns that may be larger than the sum of their parts. The conference will also feature discussions of the ethics of radical longtermism.

The meeting will take place in a hybrid format. It begins with a welcome dinner on April 20 for in-person participants. All of April 21 will be in-person, with all events broadcast online for remote participants. The morning of April 22 will feature remote presentations and participation, available to the in-person audience as well. For the remainder of April 22, we will close with in-person (and remotely available) events.
