TMLS is Canada’s flagship summit for applied ML, AI infrastructure, and enterprise adoption. We bring together the researchers, practitioners, and leaders putting AI into practice across Canada. If you have real lessons, practical wins, or important research to share, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for talks grounded in real work, from production systems and implementation challenges to research that helps the community understand what matters now and what comes next.

A Program Shaped by Practitioners, Researchers, and AI Leaders

TMLS is built for people working through the real challenges of AI adoption, from production systems and infrastructure to operating models, governance, and research breakthroughs.

Every year, the program is shaped by a committee that helps surface the sessions, case studies, and ideas most worth your time.
