The highlight was meeting Ben Delo, who is the U.K.'s youngest billionaire and has been converted to effective altruism for the long-term future. Denkenberger also gave a presentation to the Foresight Institute (which focuses on artificial intelligence and nanotechnology) and to Arup (a building energy efficiency company). He also had over 30 other meetings with foundations, donors and collaborators, including one who was rushing off to give a presentation to the Nobel Prize Committee.
