LatinX in AI
Research Workshop at
NeurIPS 2026
December, 2026 | Sidney, Australia & Atlanta, USA
This is an official workshop of the LatinX in AI (LXAI) organization at NeurIPS
The workshop is a one-day event with invited speakers, oral presentations, and posters. The event brings together faculty, graduate students, research scientists, and engineers for an opportunity to connect and exchange ideas. There will be a panel discussion and a mentoring session to discuss current research trends and career choices in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
While all presenters will identify primarily as LatinX, everyone is invited to attend.
