MLOps World is an international community group of practitioners trying to better understand the science of deploying ML models into live production environments.

Created initially by the Toronto Machine Learning Society (TMLS) this initiative is intended to unite and support the wider AI Ecosystem, companies, practitioners, and academics and contributors to open-source communities operating within it.
With an explorative approach, our initiatives address the unique needs of our community of over 9,000+ ML researchers, professionals, entrepreneurs and engineers. Intended to empower its members and propel productionized ML. Our community gatherings and events attempt to re-imagining what it means to have a connected community; offering support, growth, inclusion for all participants.

We strive to support our community by supporting;

• Regular social gatherings
• Knowledge sharing and career development
• Identification of opportunities and effective practices, methodologies and principles around deploying models into live production environments
• Unique local and global partnerships
• Hiring and talent building
• Growth of diverse and inclusive teams
