So.... who's going to NeurIPS?
@roydanroy I'll be there in New Orleans but it seems to be organised assuming mostly virtual participation - no spotlight talks / orals, and workshops are virtual?
@roydanroy yeah I was going to say that I usually try to find the speaker to chat at the poster sessions
@Yarin I would maybe argue the opposite. Sitting in a large audience listening to a talk with no expectation of interaction is as close to a zoom session as real life gets.
IN contrast, poster sessions are entirely about interaction and that's 80% of the schedule. I'm quite curious.
Only issue I worry about is fatigue standing all day.
