Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

 

The Board of Directors of NeurIPS developed the video Where Everyone Has a Voice to express its commitment to ensuring fairness and equality to all who attend, submit to, and review for the NeurIPS Conference. Our goal is to create a forum that fosters inclusion for all as we strive to build a supportive community for those who participate. All suggestions are encouraged and appreciated as we move forward.

 

Affinity Groups

At NeurIPS, affinity groups play a crucial role in advocating for and amplifying the ideas and voices of marginalized communities, bringing attention to the various issues that affect their members. Affinity groups organize workshops and social events for their members, and are supported by the NeurIPS Affinity Chairs. NeurIPS welcomes affinity groups, including:

Women in ML » Black in AI » LatinX in AI » Queer in AI » Jews in ML » {Dis}Ability in AI » Indigenous in AI » Global South in AI » Muslims in ML » North Africans in ML » New in ML » Neurodiversity »
