  1. NeurIPS 2026 Official Satellites

    Following the success of the NeurIPS and NeurIPS-Mexico City pilots in 2025, we are thrilled to announce two official NeurIPS 2026 satellite events for this year! These will be held in Paris, France and Atlanta, USA, respectively, running alongside the main venue in Sydney, Australia.

    Both satellite events will feature keynotes, oral and poster presentations of accepted NeurIPS 2026 papers, as well as workshops. We are planning tutorials, affinity events, and other elements for the satellite sites and we’ll share more information as planning advances.

  3. An important reminder concerning OpenReview profiles

    We would like to remind all authors planning to send a manuscript to NeurIPS that all submissions must have a valid OpenReview profile when submitting.

    Please be aware that OpenReview has a moderation policy for newly created profiles: while new profiles created with an institutional email will be activated automatically, those created without an institutional email will go through a moderation process that can take up to two weeks: please plan accordingly.

    We will be unable to make any exception for submissions from accounts initiated less than two weeks prior to the deadline.

    If you have any questions about the use of OpenReview, please refer to its FAQ: https://openreview.net/faq

    This program offers authors the opportunity to receive free, automated, and actionable feedback on their manuscripts before the final deadline, private to the authors. It is a completely optional service that is kept strictly private to the authors and will not be used in the review process.
