6 CVPR Workshop When CVPR returns this month, it will be its first in-person conference for three years. For many young scholars, their only experience with conferences and workshops will have been virtual. Does Emma have any advice for someone attending a physical event for the first time? “ Well, they should come to my workshop that people are thinking about things the rest of us take for granted. ” The event aims to showcase the diversity of the field with a range of invited speakers at different points in their careers, covering an array of topics and geographies. With this year’s guests all lined up, we ask if there is a dream booking Emma would love to have come along next year. “ In terms of the big names, everyone we invited was able to make it, but I hope we get a poster submission from a grad student we’ve never heard of this year so that next year we can invite them, ” she responds. “ I think the fear as an organizer is that you’re going to miss new creative thinkers on the edge of things – people who aren’t as well connected. This is a workshop that showcases new and unusual perspectives. It’s about getting a wide view of the amazing work being done in different places in different ways by different people. ”
