The world’s largest and most influential AI/ML research conference - 15,000+ attendees, thousands of papers, and the benchmark venue for cutting-edge AI research.
NeurIPS (Neural Information Processing Systems) is the most important AI research conference in the world by most measures: paper quality, attendance, and the concentration of researchers who are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do. The conference includes the main paper track, workshops, tutorials, competitions, and an expo where major AI labs and companies demonstrate their latest work. Registration sells out fast every year. New Orleans in December is a good host city - the food culture is exceptional and the convention centre is well-equipped for the scale of the event.
Best for
AI researchers, ML scientists, PhD students, and technically-minded practitioners who want to understand where AI is heading at the research frontier.
Who should skip
Business leaders and non-technical audiences. NeurIPS is one of the most technically dense conferences in any field.
Pricing
Typically $1,000-$2,000 depending on registration type; in-person passes sell out - register early
