Participation: on-site or remote?
The conference is hybrid in the minimal sense that we will enable authors to give their presentation-at-a-distance, and we will stream the conference and enable questions to be asked from a distance; but that is all. So on-line participation is possible, but support will be minimal: after two years of pandemic, we want to very strongly encourage you to come in person if you can!
Covid-19
Covid-19: due to a recent rise in cases we kindly ask all attendees to maintain social distancing whenever possible, to wear masks indoors, and to consider undergoing Covid-19 testing (lateral flow tests). We plan to distribute masks and LFT to attendees (whenever needed) to make this as simple as possible. If you are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms and/or tested positive, please do not come to the venue and let us know (email the organisers).
Visas
We are aware that due to Covid-19, some visas are taking longer to process than normal. Therefore, if you need a visa, we suggest that you begin applying for it as soon as possible. If you need a letter for a visa, please use the option in the registration form to request one. Alternatively, you can email the local chairs, including details of any accepted papers.
Student Travel Grants
We awarded 42 DeepMind Student Travel Grants, prioritising applications from outside Europe and with an accepted paper at COLT 2022. Congratulations to all!

COLT (and the joint COLT-IMS workshop) will be held at The Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albemarle Street, W1S 4BS London, UK.
