Women in Machine Learning Workshop 2026

Connect, collaborate, and shape the future of Machine Learning.

Machine Learning (ML) is at the forefront of technological development and is transforming fields ranging from healthcare and finance to security and transportation. As its influence on research, industry, and everyday life continues to grow, it is increasingly important that diverse perspectives are represented in shaping its future.

The Women in Machine Learning Workshop 2026 aims to bring together women and underrepresented gender groups who are interested in Machine Learning, creating a space to connect, exchange ideas, gain inspiration, and build a stronger and more inclusive ML community.

Whether you are new to Machine Learning or already working in the field, the workshop offers an opportunity to meet researchers and students, learn from invited speakers, discuss experiences and ideas, and discover ongoing research.

The workshop is organized as a lunch-to-lunch event and will include invited talks, research presentations, demonstrations, discussions, networking opportunities, and a poster session.

Venues:
Ada Lovelace, House B, Floor 2, MazeMap

Zero, Zenit, Floor 2,  MazeMap

Who can participate?

The workshop is centered on women in Machine Learning and aims to support greater gender diversity in the field. We welcome participants who share this goal, with a particular focus on women and underrepresented gender groups.

The workshop is especially relevant for students, researchers, and professionals who are interested in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Data Science, and related technical fields. Participants at all stages, from those who are new to the field to experienced researchers and practitioners, are warmly welcome.

No specific level of experience is required. Whether you would like to learn, share your work, meet others in the community, or simply explore opportunities in Machine Learning, we encourage you to join us.
