Quality over quantity
We care more about original, thoughtful content than just filling slots.
If you have something genuinely useful or interesting to share, we’d love to have you as a speaker.
Sales pitches
It’s totally fine to highlight your product, framework, or service.
But straight-up sales pitches—especially reused ones—won’t make the cut.
Inclusivity
We welcome speakers from every background and experience level.
If you’d like to speak but need support or accommodations, let us know. We’ll do what we can to help.
Be nice!
We won’t publish anything offensive or disrespectful.
We’re here to learn, share, and have fun, let’s keep it that way.
CFP Description
Conf42 Machine Learning 2026
First things first, please watch the CFP tips and tricks video - 5 minutes. It will increase your chances of having your talk accepted.
Let’s talk about what really makes machine learning work in the real world.
If you spend your days training models, cleaning data, tuning hyperparameters, or figuring out how to get ML systems into production without everything breaking, this event’s for you.
We’ll dig into what’s working (and what’s not) in the world of machine learning:
- Building and deploying production-ready ML systems
- Practical use of LLMs, transformers, and generative AI
- Feature engineering, data pipelines, and MLOps
- Real-world challenges in scaling and monitoring models
- Using open-source tools for experimentation and deployment
- Responsible AI and how to make models fair and explainable
- Lessons learned from failed experiments and unexpected wins
Come hang out with folks who get it, share what you’ve learned, and pick up a few ideas to make your next model a little smarter.
For any questions and suggestions, please join our Discord server!
Hope to see you there,
Mark
