I am also attending; perhaps the easiest would be to meet for lunch during one of the main conference day lunch breaks.

How about this place/time:

- Julia users NIPS meeting
- Tuesday, 6th December
- meet at 12:20 (end of morning session, begin of lunch break)
- At the NIPS registration desk (where you get the badge and t-shirts)

We’re having the first Barcelona Julia meetup on the 29th of Nov - I could organize another one, a week later, if you’d like to gather around for chat and drinks. Would you like to organize a meetup on the 6th of Dec, in the evening?

Any firmer plans on when to meet ? I live in BCN, but I am not registered for the conference. I can probably get into the registration desk, if we follow @nowozin s plan
