**Talk #2: Bringing ML to Prod: How MLOps Complements DevOps in the Real World**
***with Adam Crow, Senior Cloud Engineer @ GFT Group***

As machine learning becomes core to modern software systems, the need to operationalise ML models with the same rigour as traditional software is more pressing than ever. In this talk, we’ll explore what MLOps actually is, how it relates to, overlaps with, and diverges from DevOps and why it's critical for delivering reliable, auditable, and scalable AI systems.

Drawing from a real-world implementation from within one of the global bank, I’ll share how we designed and delivered an enterprise-grade MLOps platform within their corporate services environment. We’ll explore lessons learned around CI/CD for ML, ML governance in regulated sectors, high Iteration environments, reproducibility, and the balance between flexibility for data scientists and control for engineering teams.

Whether you're new to MLOps or looking to integrate it more deeply into your workflow, this session will ground you in practical strategies to close the gap between experimentation and production.
