500+ people RSVP’d to my Luma page before I even hosted a single offline event. Yes, I hacked how people discover ICML side events in Seoul. Nothing fancy. ICML is happening right in my neighborhood, so I collected every side event I could find and made one useful hub for people coming to Seoul. The first 100 were slow. Then it started compounding. From 200 to 500 took only a few days. When people started loving it, I remembered Corgi Cafe from last month. Thanks @UseCorgi! So we gathered partners who cared. @arizeai and @NEARProtocol helped immediately. Now we’re opening Cafe @ICML. It’s less than 5 minutes from the ICML venue. Even better: it’s not a normal cafe. It’s an office, so we have meeting rooms too. What we need during ICML is not more meetups. We need a place to sit down, rest, drink coffee, and talk about research with good people. If you need space during ICML, come by. Thanks to our sponsors, coffee is free. We’re still taking sponsors. If you sponsor the cafe, we’ll make a drink named after you and help people naturally discover your company or product while they’re here. luma.com/7iiqamt2?tk=66… Thank you Corgi, Arize, NEAR, @ekang426, and @sminhan26
