Almost 40 of the smartest brains in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are due in London on 9th-11th October to talk about AI and machine learning technology and to show how it’s used in real world organisations. Brought to you by Situation Publishing (the people behind The Register) and Heise Medien, M3 will bring together experts in AI, machine learning and data science to help architects, developers and CIOs get on the path to a more intelligent technological future.

Attendees now have less than a month to secure the best possible deal on tickets for the conference, with the early bird ticket sale ending on 31st July.

The programme committee for M3 considered over 100 proposals for conference sessions, whittling them down to an agenda that will not only tell attendees what the potential of machine learning and AI is, but will show how other organisations are putting the technology to work today.

With an emphasis on practical sessions, attendees can get up to speed with the key concepts underpinning machine learning and AI with sessions taking a deep dive into the core concepts involved, or examining the key algorithms.

More experienced practitioners can examine key tools and techniques in depth, such as TensorFlow or Caffe. At the same time, they can learn from speakers who have applied these to projects in companies such as Ocado and OpenTable, or in areas such as cybersecurity, finance, construction engineering or exotic matter research.

Furthermore, attendees will benefit from sessions covering the legal, ethical and organisational challenges of applying machine learning and AI in both traditional organisations and startups. Added to the mix will be sessions looking at driverless cars and robots, as well as a brace of excellent keynote speakers in the shape of Goldsmiths’ Mark Bishop and Google DeepMind’s Melanie Warrick.

This is the perfect line-up not just for people contemplating an initial foray into machine learning and AI, but also for those looking take their existing projects to the next level.
