<h3>Program Committee</h3>
<p>
AISTATS is possible thanks to the tireless work of the whole community, including a large team of <a href="https://virtual.aistats.org/Conferences/2021/Reviewers">reviewers</a> and area chairs. Reviewers are essential to selecting a good program, and to providing constructive feedback to authors. The program chairs wish to give a special thank you to all our reviewers and area chairs for their hard work.
