About This Event

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.

Who Should Attend

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

Why Attend

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.

Event Features

  • 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

What Makes This Unique

  • 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.
