MLOps / Gen AI World is a unique collaborative event for the ML/Gen AI community of over 20,000 ML researchers, engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs across several disciplines.

Taken from the real-life experiences of practitioners, the Steering Committee has selected the top applications, achievements, and knowledge-areas to highlight across the event!

Oct 8, 2025 at 8:30 AM – Oct 9, 2024 at 4:00 PM (CST)

About the Event

MLOps World & GenAI World is an international community group of practitioners working to advance the science of deploying not only ML models but also agents and agentic workflows into live production environments.

We explore everything, technical and non-technical, that goes into making these systems reliable and effective.

Created by the Toronto Machine Learning Society (TMLS), this initiative unites the wider AI ecosystem: companies, practitioners, academics, and open-source contributors. Our goal is to accelerate the safe, responsible, and scalable adoption of AI and agents in production.

With an explorative approach, our initiatives address the needs of a community of over 18,000+ ML and AI practitioners, researchers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and engineers. We’re here to empower members, propel productionized AI, and shape the next generation of agent-driven systems.

Hosted By

Leopoldo Hernandez, Software Engineer

I am an avid and focused individual. I strive for daily self-enrichment of the ever-growing CS field. After teaching English as a Second Language to adults for 10+ years, I came to the realization that my passion for problem solving, patience and dedication needed a change of pace, and so, a career-change took place.

I studied computer science at 42 Silicon Valley where the pedagogy is peer-to-peer, based learning. I was able to learn about what inspired me and motivated me while coding away projects for 14+ hours a day. I was a lot of fun.

I'm currently a Full-Stack Developer at Wayfair based in Austin TX. :D

Ryan Francis, CEO & Founder

👋 I’m Ryan and as the CEO/Founder of Whisler, I partner with companies across the US to find top-tier mobile engineering talent within Flutter, iOS, Android, React Native, and Xamarin. I can do a bit of everything outside of mobile (FE, BE, DevOps/Cloud, QA, ML, Marketing, Product), but mobile is my true specialization (particularly Flutter) 📲.
