Creative Intelligence after hours (ICML 2026)
The talks are done. The badges are off. Come up to the roof and unwind with us.
After first day of ICML 2026, join Contra Labs for an evening of live music, cocktails, and good conversation above the Seoul skyline. No slides, no Q&A queue – just the people building the frontier of creative AI, on a rooftop where the best ideas usually show up after the formal program ends.
Come meet Gajus (Co-Founder, CTO) and Allison (VP of Product & Head of Contra Labs), swap notes on the day, and find out where the night goes next: stick around to get the location of our karaoke after-party.
The night, loosely:
Rooftop setting, Seoul skyline
Live music
Cocktails and snacks
The researchers, builders, and operators behind today's most interesting creative AI work
Karaoke after-party (location revealed in person – find Gajus or Allison)
Who should come
Anyone at ICML thinking about creative AI – researchers, builders, designers, and operators who'd rather trade ideas over a cocktail than over a poster. If divergence, taste, and what "good" looks like when outputs aren't benchmarkable are the kinds of things you argue about for fun, you'll be among friends.
When & where
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 – the second day of the main conference. A short trip from COEX.
