About the event
Real-world applications. Technical challenges. Measurable impact.
Thursday 22nd October | 5:00pm – 7:30pm
Tripadvisor, London
AI is everywhere. But beyond the hype, what does it actually look like when Machine Learning and AI are being used to solve real problems, improve products and create better experiences at scale?
This October, Burns Sheehan and Tripadvisor are bringing together London’s Machine Learning and AI community for an evening of technical talks, practical insight and networking.
We’ll hear directly from AI and ML leaders and practitioners working on real-world applications across areas including search, personalisation, recommendations and intelligent product experiences.
Rather than another high-level discussion about the potential of AI, each speaker will take us inside a project or challenge they’ve worked on: what they were trying to solve, the technology and thinking behind their approach, what they built, and the impact it has had.
Expect practical examples, technical insight and lessons from the people actually doing the work.
What to expect
We’ll be joined by four speakers from leading technology businesses, each delivering a focused talk followed by the opportunity for questions.
Across the evening, we’ll explore:
-
How AI and Machine Learning are being applied to real products and customer problems
-
The technical decisions and challenges behind taking ideas into production
-
Search, recommendation and personalisation at scale
-
Where businesses are seeing genuine value from AI and ML
-
What teams have learned when implementation hasn’t been straightforward
-
How technical innovation translates into better products, engagement and commercial outcomes
There’ll also be plenty of time before and after the talks to meet other people working across AI and ML over food and drinks.
Who should attend?
This event is designed for people building, leading and scaling AI and Machine Learning in practice.
Whether you’re a Machine Learning Engineer, ML Scientist, Principal Engineer, Head of AI, Data/ML Leader or technical decision-maker, this is an opportunity to learn from peers tackling similar challenges and meet others across London’s AI and ML community.
If you’re interested in how businesses are moving beyond experimentation and putting AI and ML to work in real products, we’d love to have you there.
