NeurIPS 2025 Mexico City – Call for Workshops

Date November 30, December 1 | Hilton Mexico City

We invite proposals for in-person workshops to be held in Mexico City as part of the newly launched secondary location for NeurIPS 2025. This is an exciting opportunity to engage with the broader AI research community and to center local voices, regional relevance, and global collaboration in artificial intelligence.

Workshops at NeurIPS aim to provide a platform for dynamic discussions on emerging topics, community-building, and future directions in AI. The Mexico City satellite will host a limited number of high-quality workshops (up to 8) over one or two days in parallel sessions, mirroring the structure of the main conference.
