PyTorch Conference 2026 took place October 20-21, 2026.
The conference was held in San Jose, California.
The conference was aimed at ML and AI engineers, infrastructure and systems engineers, researchers, students, and technical leaders.
Tuesday, October 20 was scheduled to run 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM with keynotes, sessions, expo, poster sessions, and evening reception. Wednesday, October 21 was scheduled to run 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Keynote speakers were scheduled to include Brian Stevens (Red Hat), Bill Jia (Google), Sara Hooker (Adaption), Mazin Gilbert (Agentic AI Foundation), and Simon Mo (Inferact).
It is most useful for ML and infrastructure engineers and researchers building on open source AI, since the program was billed as covering technical talks and hands-on workshops across the full AI stack, and keynotes were scheduled from Red Hat, Google and the Agentic AI Foundation. Non-technical buyers or managers seeking business strategy will get less, and with Google as Diamond sponsor and Red Hat as Platinum, the vendor presence leaned toward infrastructure and platform companies.
Attendees at developer and machine learning conferences usually wear casual clothes such as jeans, t-shirts or hoodies, often with a company-branded item.
