And lastly, if @neuripsconf.bsky.social would choose to reverse the decisions on the papers affected by space constraints, we would be happy and able to accommodate their presentation

It is also mentioned in the blogpost announcing EurIPS (ie, specifying that attendance in EurIPS is not enough): blog.neurips.cc/2025/07/16/n...

In theory I agree, in practice I find it hard to connect at a conference with >10k participants. Besides I am not aware of another venue similar to Eurips to create connections at a European level, so I think it's very welcome (and am looking forward to expand my network beyond France/Switzerland)

I have been several times in the gray zone of registering w/o attending, just to comply with the rules. Really not ideal (esp for researchers w little funding). Neurips was a rare exception where virtual registration was enough. It's a real setback if they change that rule.

Why do you think allowing authors to present in Copenhagen is detrimental to the Mexico venue? Imo those meetings are complementary, not in competition. This being said, I'd love to see more parallel venues in the future, in particular in places with less visa issues, after the Copenhagen+Mexico exp

My understanding is that the current policy is that at least one author should register to NeurIPS in San Diego/Mexico, and on top of this other authors can optionally present in Copenhagen.

🌍 Would be better if authors were allowed to present at officially endorsed hubs or online instead — ensuring fair and equitable participation, and ultimately creating a better NeurIPS for everyone.

🚨 At the same time, NeurIPS now requires at least one author to register in person to the main conference. Virtual registration was enough before.

✈️ Many can’t travel to San Diego/Mexico due to limited funding, disabilities, caregiving responsibilities, visa restrictions, or climate concerns.
