The event brings together data scientists, engineers, analysts, researchers, and anyone who wants to learn from real projects rather than theory.What to expectThe programme is split into two streams so you can follow what is most relevant to your work.Engineering StreamCovers deployment, monitoring, scaling, infrastructure, and what it takes to keep AI systems running.Machine Learning StreamCovers model development, evaluation, responsible use of data, and lessons from applied ML work across different industries.Across both days you will hear open discussions about what teams tried, what worked, what failed, and what they learned along the way.Workshops on Thursday 4 JuneThe conference opens with a day of hands on workshops delivered by the Jumping Rivers team.
