Slack Forum
- We have created an unofficial slack channel to facilitate student communication.
- You can join the channel here to discuss AAAI 2020 with other students.
- Reminder: This is an unofficial channel.
Student Welcome Reception
- Meet and network with your fellow students on the evening of February 7.
Sticker Social Event
- In past years AAAI has hosted a research speed dating event to facilitate social interactions at the conference. This year, there will not be a single social event for this purpose, but participants are encouraged to interact throughout the conference. To facilitate this, participants will be provided with stickers and are encouraged to place the answer to social questions on their name tag. Doing so means that you are open to social interactions with people at the conference that you do not know.
- Find stickers and instructions near the registration desk and at the student reception.
- A special AI sticker will be given to those who meet new people at the conference. More information is available at the sticker social table.
Fun and Games Night
- A fun and social time for games and entertainment. Details TBA.
Lunch with AAAI Fellow
- Students can meet a leader in one of the fields of Artificial Intelligence over lunch
- More information will be posted soon.
Student Dining Opportunities
- A student coordinator will be organizing informal opportunities for students to eat together for lunches and dinners at various casual restaurants near the conference venue. Students will be expected to pay for their own meals. Some groups will be available based on research or career interests, while others will be general groups. Additional information will be available as the conference approaches.
