ML Collective open picnic lunch at NeurIPS 2024
ML Collective open picnic lunch at NeurIPS 2024
It's been a conference or few since our last in-person lunch, so let's get together and eat!
Everyone welcome, no need to pretend you want a job at AnthroMetaGooMind to get in!
Meet friends from around the world
This is a casual, bring-your-own-lunch meetup
Feel free to bring your favorite hot take, latest plot, or to schlep your own RFP!
Free MLC stickers!
🕐 When: leave posters a little early to grab your lunch from the catering or food court at 12:45, then meet us at the tables at 1:15.
📍Where: the tables at the back of the Expo hall, just behind the Writer and G-Research booths. We'll spread some MLC stickers around the tables too.
🥙 Please bring your own lunch! Here are three options for acquiring food:
The conference catered food will be distributed at the back of West Exhibition Hall C, B3, right next to where we're meeting for lunch. However, the last few days they have only had non-veggie options at this distribution point.
Veggie conference catered food is available upstairs.
You can also pop out to a nearby food court / restaurant and bring your lunch back to eat with us.
🍽️ When you arrive, find a seat and introduce yourself to others at your table. If someone new arrives, welcome them and ask them for a quick intro. Icebreaker questions:
What are you working on?
What's something you probably know more about than everyone at the table? (Does not have to be about ML)
At the end of the lunch we'll probably do a group pic before breaking for the invited talk at 2:30.
