Docling Community Exchange

Join us for an in person, interactive evening with refreshments, where you’ll have the opportunity to connect directly with the creators of Docling through collaborative Q & A —or just listen in and learn. Whether you're just getting started or already exploring advanced use cases, this is a chance to ask questions, share ideas, and deepen your understanding of structured document extraction at scale.

NOTE: RSVP is REQUIRED to attend

When building machine learning and data-centric applications, a significant portion of time is often spent on document wrangling—extracting, cleaning, and structuring content from complex files. This session introduces Docling, a powerful open-source document processing framework built by IBM Research. It supports a wide range of file types such as PDF, DOCX, HTML, and PowerPoint (PPTX), and is capable of handling complex structures like nested tables, multi-column layouts, and scanned images.
