NeurIPS 19 Poster Session
machine learning conference posters research bubble
I'm at the poster session and the amount of people here is just crazy
 Hi there, we are here at the NURBS 2019 poster session, one of the poster sessions specifically. There are two poster sessions a day, three days, so this is day two, the first poster session. It's technically lunchtime, so most people are out, but you can see there's still so many people here. There are about 250 posters in this room, and every poster has a ball of people around it. This is not peak time. Yesterday they didn't even let people into this room. That's the kind of the only reason you come to the conference to actually talk to the people doing the work, but it's almost impossible because they're constantly trying to explain their work to about 20 people at a time, asking any meaningful questions, getting into a conversation is almost impossible. It's about 10 degrees warmer in here than outside. It is sweaty, it smells, it's absolutely beautiful. I don't know, there is a kind of a feeling in the air that this is a bubble, just a sheer amount of people attending this is crazy. I don't know what this looks like in a few years. Maybe this is peak, or maybe it's just going to grow and grow and grow. I don't know. So you can see what it looks like, and maybe I've described well what it feels like to be here. With that, I am going to dive in, and bye bye.
