PyTorch Conference North America 2026

PyTorch Conference North America 2026 runs 20-21 October 2026 at the San Jose Convention Center, 150 W San Carlos St, hosted by the PyTorch Foundation. The two-day programme spans the full open-source AI stack — bare-metal infrastructure, training and inference, kernel engineering, frameworks and compilers, generative AI, security and privacy, responsible AI and compliance, and agent-based systems — delivered as technical talks, hands-on workshops, a community expo and poster sessions. Foundation projects on the agenda include PyTorch itself plus vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion and Safetensors. Diamond sponsors are AMD, AWS, Google, Meta and NVIDIA. AGNTCon + MCPCon North America is co-located at the same venue on 22-23 October.

• ✓ML engineers
• ✓AI infrastructure engineers
• ✓Research scientists
• ✓Platform and MLOps leads
• ✓Open-source maintainers
• ✓Heads of AI engineering
• ✓Kernel and compiler engineers

A platform lead running PyTorch in production gets two days with the maintainers of the exact projects their inference bill depends on — vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray — and can ask in person why a kernel regressed instead of filing an issue and waiting a month. AMD, AWS, Google, Meta and NVIDIA all sponsor at the top tier, so hardware and serving comparisons happen in one building without a single vendor owning the stage. Adding AGNTCon + MCPCon for two more days at a 20% discount turns one trip into a full agentic-infrastructure review.

• ✓Training and inference technical track
• ✓Kernel engineering track
• ✓Frameworks and compilers track
• ✓Generative AI track
• ✓Responsible AI and compliance track
• ✓Security and privacy track
• ✓Agent-based systems and applications track
• ✓Hands-on technical workshops
• ✓Community expo and poster sessions
• ✓AI Community Bash featuring De La Soul, 21 October
• ✓Co-located AGNTCon + MCPCon North America, 22-23 October, San Jose Convention Center

• ★Run by the PyTorch Foundation itself, so roadmap and internals talks come from project maintainers rather than a vendor's platform marketing team.
• ★Co-located with AGNTCon + MCPCon on 22-23 October at the same convention center, with 20% off the add-on when bought alongside a PyTorch registration — four days of framework and agentic-infrastructure content on one trip.
• ★Covers Foundation projects well beyond PyTorch — vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion and Safetensors — which is where serving cost and inference architecture decisions actually get made.
• ★The academic rate is a flat $249 at every tier including late registration, which keeps researchers in the room instead of pricing them out.
• ★AMD, AWS, Google, Meta and NVIDIA all sponsor at Diamond tier simultaneously — rare neutral ground for comparing hardware and cloud options.

Attendee registration is tiered by date: Super Early Bird $499 (31 Mar-10 Apr, expired), Early Bird $599 (11 Apr-31 Jul, expired), Standard $799 (1 Aug-4 Sep 2026), Late $999 (5 Sep-21 Oct 2026). Academic rate is a flat $249 at every tier with proof of academic ID. Co-located AGNTCon + MCPCon is a separate add-on: $375 early (2 Apr-28 Jul), $475 standard (29 Jul-7 Oct), $925 late (8-23 Oct), with a 20% discount when added to a PyTorch Conference registration. Every registration deadline is 11:59 p.m. Pacific on the stated date.
