The Applied Machine Learning Conference is just one week away!
Get your tickets while they're still available
The 2026 Applied Machine Learning Conference is just one week away! If you’re thinking about attending the conference but haven't got your tickets yet, now is the time. Last year’s conference sold out, so be sure to secure your tickets while they’re still available.
We have 42 technical talks and hands-on tutorials lined up over two days covering a wide range of topics across data science, machine learning, and AI engineering, featuring speakers from organizations like NVIDIA, Anthropic, Amazon, Microsoft, McAfee, S&P Global, DARPA, IBM, and many more, as well as leading universities including UVA, Virginia Tech, Georgetown, Duke, and NC State. Renowned machine learning engineer Vicki Boykis and David Luebke, co-founder of NVIDIA Research, will headline the conference.
Most sessions are targeted at data science, AI, and machine learning practitioners, but there’s plenty here for leadership-level folks and AI enthusiasts more broadly — including talks and tutorials about the novel economics of AI and what it means for organizations using and building on top of AI models, why most ML projects should fail and how to do it well, and how to ensure AI-powered systems are deployed ethically and responsibly.
Two more developments we’re excited about for this year’s event:
We’ve added a casual networking reception at Vault Virginia for AMLC speakers and attendees immediately after the conclusion of the conference program on Friday.
We have 11 eight-minute lightning talks lined up for Saturday, many of which seem just as compelling as our full-length talks! Stay tuned for more details about the lightning talk program.
We can’t wait to see everyone next week for the marquee annual event for the data science, AI, and machine learning community in our region!
P.S. We’d be grateful if you could share the event with friends, colleagues, and others in your network who may be interested in attending! We do our best to get the word out about the AMLC, but the #1 way attendees find out about the event is still by word of mouth from people they know.
