1) NeurIPS 2024 Conference Schedule
The details are posted on the conference website.
2) NeurIPS 2024 Workshops
NeurIPS 2024 workshops will take place on Dec. 14 & 15. We received 204 total submissions — a significant increase from last year. From this great batch of submissions, we have accepted 56 workshops. Given the exceptional quality of submissions this year, we wish we could have accepted many more, but we could not due to logistical constraints. We want to thank everyone who put in tremendous effort in submitting a workshop proposal. For a list of accepted workshops, refer to our blog post here.
3) NeurIPS 2024 Tutorials
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.
4) 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 Blog Post.
5) Bridging the Future
In this event, we will cover recent activities towards broadening participation activities in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. NeurIPS has recently provided support to several groups active in this space, and in this event, they will describe their efforts and results. The event will take place on Thursday, December 12 at 7:30 pm in room East MR 18. Join us to learn about their ongoing project to better support their communities and the world. Light snacks and drinks will be served. See details here.
6) NeurIPS Town Hall Details
NeurIPS invites all attendees to our annual Town Hall, which will occur in person at the conference on Friday, December 13th at 7 PM this year. The NeurIPS Town Hall provides community members with an opportunity to hear updates and ask questions about the conference. 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.
7) Announcing the NeurIPS High School Projects Results
We are thrilled to announce the results of the first call for NeurIPS High School Projects. With a theme of machine learning for social impact, this track was launched to get the next generation excited and thinking about how ML can benefit society, to encourage those already pursuing research on this topic, and to amplify that work through interaction with the NeurIPS community.
In total, we received 330 project submissions from high schoolers around the globe. Among those, 21 projects were chosen to be spotlighted and 4 were chosen as award winners. We congratulate all of the students and encourage community members to attend the joint poster session on Tuesday, December 10, where representatives of the four award-winning projects will present their work. For the details refer to this blog post.
8) Poster Printing Service
Read the NeurIPS poster printing information page for additional insight and information about templates, virtual poster and paper thumbnails, poster sizes, and printing.
You can use any service you want to print your poster. We offer an optional poster printing service.
9) Childcare and Other Amenities
NeurIPS is proud to provide free on-site child care. The deadline for registration has passed and it is now at capacity. We invite everyone to review the Child attendance policy here.
We kindly request that all attendees adhere to our child attendance policy by refraining from bringing children under the age of 14 to the venue unless they are registered in the childcare program.
Other amenities will include a nursing room and first aid.
10) Reminder About the Conference Dates
As already announced multiple times, the conference start date has been changed to Tuesday, December 10 in order to support delegates arriving on Monday for the Tuesday morning sessions. Registration will now open on Monday from 1 pm to 6 pm. Tutorials remain on Tuesday as originally scheduled. We encourage all attendees to verify dates directly on our website (https://neurips.cc/Conferences/2024) to avoid confusion.
11) NeurIPS EXPO
This year’s NeurIPS features an exciting lineup of 56 Expo events across December 10th-11th. This includes 18 interactive demonstrations on Tuesday, December 10th, along with 26 talk panels and 12 workshops spread across both days.
