In 2026, is EAGx Berkeley or EAG NYC a better place to learn about US-China AI governance?

A West Coast resident is deciding between attending EAGx Berkeley or EAG NYC in 2026 to learn about US-China AI governance, weighing the convenience of Berkeley against potentially greater learning opportunities in NYC despite an extra six hours of flight time.

Comments This year, I want to speak to people involved in I live on the West Coast, cannot take additional time off, and so if the two felt equal in quality I'd go to the one that takes less time to get to. But if what I can learn is much greater at NYC it's probably worth ~6 hours extra flight time on the return journey.
