Program and Registration—2023

Welcome to AAAI-MAKE 2023. On this page, you will find the program and the respective starting times—participation on-site or virtually is only possible after prior registration.

Even though this symposium is a hybrid event, we strongly believe that the possibility of on-site social interaction is far from transferable by virtual means. So, we hope that many may succeed in being able to participate on-site and to travel to San Francisco.

The AAAI Spring Symposium Series will be held at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco Airport.
