Our call for speakers is now open. We invite expert AI practitioners to share their insights, case studies, techniques, and lessons with an international audience of ML Engineers, Data Scientists, AI Engineers, researchers, and Agentic Developers.
We’re Headed Back to Austin!
We’re back in Austin this October 8-9 for MLOps World | GenAI Summit 2025, where real-world insights, practical frameworks, and frontier innovations in ML infrastructure, AI Engineering, and AI Agents will take center stage.
Why Speak at MLOps World | GenAI Summit 2025?
A successful lineup of speakers is not just about star power. It’s about sparking ideas, sharing hard-won lessons, and bringing fresh perspectives to the table.
What our Steering Committee is looking for:
- Real-world use cases (the good, the bad, and the lessons learned)
- Cutting-edge research and technical deep dives
- Practical frameworks that others can apply
- Diverse voices and perspectives that expand our collective thinking
Speaking at MLOps World | GenAI Summit is a chance to showcase your expertise, connect with peers and make a lasting impact in the community.
Past speakers have included leaders and technologists from companies like NVIDIA, Meta, Cohere, National Bank of Canada, Amazon Web Services, IBM, Hugging Face, AMD, TD Bank, and more.
Our agenda reflects feedback from past attendees and conversations with the AI practitioner community, ensuring topics that resonate with real-world practitioner challenges.
What We Offer Speakers
We understand that great speakers make great events. We aim to create a supportive, transparent, and engaging environment for speakers by taking the following actions:
- Showcasing your insights to a highly engaged audience of AI practitioners, decision-makers, and innovators
- Promoting your talk pre-event on social media alongside speakers from leading organizations
- Distributing your talk post-event via our YouTube, blog, newsletter, and LinkedIn page
- Providing clear information about event expectations, technical needs, and deadlines
- Respecting your time and expertise, offering support and flexibility throughout the process
- Considering all applicants for future speaking opportunities, including our free online Stack Sessions
We believe in mutual value and want to ensure speakers walk away with meaningful connections and new ideas, not just exposure.
If your talk is not selected this time, please know we see this as the start of a conversation, not the end. We often invite past applicants to join our Stack Sessions and future events.
