The field of Machine Learning has become an extremely hot topic, both in academia and in industry. Its far-reaching applications include autonomous vehicles, smart home technology, [Speech-to-Text APIs and software](https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/the-top-free-speech-to-text-apis-and-open-source-engines/), fraud detection, streaming service recommendations, image recognition, and much more.

As more advances are made in Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and [Machine Learning](https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/top-5-machine-learning-blogs-to-follow/), expect these applications to become even more far reaching and ingrained into our everyday lives.

This post looks at some of the top Machine Learning conferences planned for 2022. 2021 saw the return of some in-person conferences, though most remained hybrid in-person/virtual events at the very least. Expect this trend to continue in 2022 as well.

This list of conferences includes the highly technical, like COLT, and the more commercial, like CES, depending on your experience and interest. Most have multiple tracks — from industrial applications to programming to theoretical — and many also include hands-on workshops for applied skills like programming. Notable speakers include presenters from top companies and universities such as Google Brain, MIT, Cornell University, GM, Instacart, Stanford University, and more.

Check out the complete list and full details below.
