The NeurIPS conference is held in Montreal this year, where leaders in the community will present innovative research over the course of tutorials, main conference proceedings and workshops.
We are proud to be a sponsor of the conference and an ongoing contributor to the research that makes this conference special. Below is a full list of activities that we are hosting or participating in. Please join us for any of them throughout the week.
