Thanks for running this! It’s unfortunate this is at the same time as ICML/IJCAI/AAMAS, I’d have been interested in attending otherwise. Not sure what proportion of your target audience go to the major ML conferences, but might be worth trying to schedule around them for next year.
Thanks for the suggestion, Adam. It is unfortunate. We had many other constraints to work with, including academic schedules and CFAR/MIRI staff availability, that made the published dates optimal. Next year, we’ll factor the AI conference calendar into our planning — ICML19′s placement in early June is probably already helpful.
