Thank you for your interest in the Fast Machine Learning for Science Conference 2026 at UC San Diego.
The early-bird registration fees are USD 500 for in-person attendance, USD 50 for remote attendance, and USD 20 for hackathon-only attendance. For academic institutional voting members (1 per institute) of the Fast ML Research Foundation, the total fee is USD 1,000 for in-person registration or USD 550 for remote registration, which includes the annual membership dues (USD 500).
After the early-bird registration deadline of July 15, 2026, the fees will increase to USD 650 for in-person attendance, USD 65 for remote attendance, and USD 26 for hackathon-only attendance.
Thanks to generous support from our sponsors, the NSF HDR Institute AI-Accelerated Algorithms for Data-Driven Discovery (A3D3) and Exploring Neural Network Processors for AI in Science and Engineering (Voyager), we are offering registration fee waivers (subject to funding availability) for graduate students on a first come first serve basis. If funds are still available, we will also open up fee waivers to undergraduate students and early-career researchers (<7 years since PhD) with financial need. Please indicate in the registration form if you are seeking a registration fee waiver and do not pay the fee.
We will offer a full refund up to 2 weeks prior to the start of the conference. Please notify us at fastml26@physics.ucsd.edu. After this date, no refunds will be offered.
