Thank you very much for your interest in speaking at Machine Learning Week.

Machine Learning Week Warsaw will take place on 2 October 2025.

Deadline for your application: 31 May, 2025

On this page, we have put together all important information on how to apply, some tips for a successful application and your benefits as a speaker.

1. Choose the appropriate session format for your content:

Machine Learning Week runs with three tracks: Business Case Studies, Industrie Case Studies and Tech/Deep Dives. Within the tracks, there are the following session formats:

A Keynote is a visionary lecture (~45 min.) on a major topic by well-known experts – there are very limited slots!

A Case Study (~30 min.) presents a concrete project and its business outcome – the company / client is presenting or has to be named! You can choose between a business- or an industry-related case study.

A Deep Dive (~60 min.) gives a deep understanding of a specific method, tool or topic – show not only slides, but also code, demo etc.!

A Table Discussion (~50 min.) provides the opportunity to discuss a controversial topic in a small group.

You can submit multiple applications. Co-Speakers are only accepted for case study sessions and only if it makes sense from a content perspective.

2. Always remember: You are talking to experienced professionals

Most participants are senior data scientists, head of data science, chief data officer or are working in similar roles for well-known companies (DAX, Fortune 500, Unicorns). Our attendees already have a deep knowledge of data science and want to apply data science to solve real business challenges.

Put yourself in the position of the audience: What would you like to hear? What would make a positive impression and make you feel your time well-spent?

3. The ideal session abstract:

• Short and concise session title and description
• Be open, honest and concrete: Name the problem, describe the solution, and quantify the benefit.
• Give a promise: tell the attendees what they can learn from your session and how they can use this knowledge for their work
• The topic should be new, interesting and relevant for the business
• Show a demo, code, figures, examples etc.
• One sentence – or a list of bullets – is not enough. More than 100 words is usually too much. Express your message fully but to the point.

Last but not least: Sales pitches are not allowed. We are vendor neutral. If you want to show results that have been achieved with a specific tool or service, you must always mention the alternative offerings that would let you achieve the same results.
