Is there any centralized place to find out about workshops like this before they happen?

They tend to post about a week out on Twitter.

Not helpful. I'm a government scientist. I need thirty days. I would imagine a lot of corporate travel offices couldn't make a trip like that happen in a week either. Not to mention the long odds that someone's calendar would happen to be open on the right days with short notice.

You asked so I gave you what I had :)

I understand that. They do also tend to livestream the workshops, which is not the same as being there, but better than nothing. I imagine if you tweeted at them / emailed them they might start to understand that proactive communication is a better approach

Hi! Keep an eye on our blog and twitter accounts. We announced this workshop back in November (in the original blog post for Spinning Up, located here: https://blog.openai.com/spinning-up-in-deep-rl/), and tweeted about a deadline extension for the workshop back in December.

We are still picking a date for the second workshop, and will announce it as soon as we can (and with a reasonable amount of lead time).

Cheers!
