The LatinX in AI Coalition is partnering with Black in AI to host a joint gathering and luncheon at the Seventh International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) in New Orleans May 7th, 2019 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Our mission is to increase representation of our communities at the main conference and create a platform allowing our members to share their work, gain access to mentoring, collaborations, and networking opportunities with other researchers in artificial intelligence.
This gathering is a one-day event with invited keynote speakers. There will be a roundtable discussion and a mentoring session to discuss current research trends and career choices in artificial intelligence and machine learning that affect the LXAI and BAI communities. The event brings together faculty, graduate students, research scientists, and engineers for an opportunity to connect and exchange ideas. While all presenters will identify primarily as latinx and black, all are invited to attend.
LXAI and BAI members are welcome to bring academic posters describing their research to display and receive review and mentorship in our room in the convention center. We will not be hosting an official call for abstracts or specifically inviting poster presenters at this event.

Dates are in pacific time (Los Angeles).
