The purpose of this Social is to explore and begin eliminating the ostensible barriers between research communities in industry and academia. By inviting NeurIPS participants to attend regardless of their institutional affiliation, employment status, or educational background, our intention is to foster connections and networking opportunities between practitioners who may not otherwise meet through conventional forums. Our discussion will explore the transition from academia to industry (and vice-versa), as well as the fruitful collaborations that follow from dismantling the idea of such transitions altogether.
