NeurIPS After Hours: Papers, Q&A & Drinks

​What will we take away from NeurIPS?

​Join us at Dust for an after hours gathering to unpack the conference and keep the conversation going over drinks.

​Together with Pierre Marion, who organises the Paris chapter, and Gaël Varoquaux, Research Director at Inria and co-founder of scikit-learn, we’ll take a broader look at NeurIPS’ main themes and takeaways: the ideas that stood out, the questions still open and what they mean for researchers and builders.

​On the agenda
