The NeurIPS 2024 tutorials will be held on Tuesday, Dec 10. There will be 14 tutorials this year. All of them will be conducted in person to encourage active participation and some of them include panels to allow for a diverse range of discussion. For a list of accepted tutorials and their speakers, refer to our blog post here.
2) Announcing the NeurIPS 2024 Affinity Events
We are excited to announce this year’s affinity events co-located with NeurIPS. At NeurIPS, affinity groups play a crucial role in promoting and supporting the ideas and voices of various communities that are defined by some axis of joint identity and raise awareness of issues that affect their members. In addition, they provide members of these affinity groups with increased opportunities to showcase their work, engage in discussions, and build connections during NeurIPS events, promoting diversity and inclusion at NeurIPS. For more information, please visit the Affinity Events Website.
3) NeurIPS Town Hall Scheduled
The NeurIPS Town Hall will be held on Friday December 13th at 7 PM this year, before the closing reception. The Town Hall provides community members with an opportunity to hear updates and ask questions about the conference and its organisation. The town hall lasts for an hour, with the first 30 minutes dedicated to presentations from various chairs and the last 30 minutes dedicated to an open Q&A from the community.

We encourage all attendees to verify dates directly on our website (https://neurips.cc/Conferences/2024) to avoid confusion.
