Poolside @ NeurIPS: Evening Social & Machine Learning Community Mixer

​Take a break from the conference bustle and join us for a closed gathering with a group of top AI researchers and engineers. This is a chance to connect with real builders who spend their days pushing the boundaries of models, agents, and applied ML.

​Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to join unscripted conversations with poolside engineers. No staging, no polish – just open discussions about the experiments, failures, and breakthroughs shaping our foundation models, our agentic workflows, and the products we’re building for high-consequence environments.

​Whether you're coming from academia, open-source, industry research, or applied ML, we’d love to meet you. Come by to:

• ​Connect with poolside ML engineers, agent builders, and forward-deployed practitioners

• ​Dive deeper into how we approach large-scale model training and evaluation frameworks

• ​Trade ideas on the latest NeurIPS research, emerging techniques, and real-world applications

• ​Enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and great conversation

• ​Grab some cool poolside merch while you’re here

​To ensure we bring together the strongest community, we will review all registrations and confirm attendance as soon as possible. You'll get the confirmation in the upcoming days if you were selected!
