--Agenda--

Our target audience is participants at the UG/MS level. The main focus is to provide a relaxing but interactive environment after a busy conference day. We will intermix mentors & participants to foster diverse perspectives, and provoke chats that may define future careers. This can be an excellent platform to shape the thoughts of upcoming generation of AI researchers.

Planned Sessions

Brainstorming: Round 1 (Subject Groups), Round 2 (Eclectic Groups)

  • Round 1: Expert-directed chats (ex. Emerging trends in an area, how to succeed/sought-after skills etc).

  • Round 2: Groups will be assigned debate topic (Multi-disciplinary ex. AI4Good or Best-practices).
