Dear fellow AI enthusiasts,
We are excited to announce that we will again be hosting a series of 4 NeurIPS events together with Freiburg AI.
Neurips is the largest AI conference worldwide and “Neurips Meetups” are described on the conference
webpage as follows:
“The goal of NeurIPS meetups is to open up access to communities worldwide and to connect
participants by geographic area and language. With this, we hope to support the growth of AI expertise
around the world, including in underrepresented communities in tech, and to fuel innovation responsibly.”
What this means is that we get access to all conference content in real-time, from which we will
select at least one talk per day to stream for you. For 4 days (Tuesday, 7. Dec to Friday, 10. Dec),
we will host digital meetups starting at 19:00 every day. Afterwards, we will discuss the talks in a joint
Q&A session.
The meetups will be hosted on Zoom:

We also want to point to the NeurIPS code of conduct.
