AI, Machine Learning, and Data Science conferences to attend in 2025

Planning for 2025 and looking for conferences to attend? There are many great events focused on Data Science, applied Machine Learning, and AI! 

We did the research and selected the most interesting events and conferences for AI and ML practitioners in 2025. We looked to include events of the most value to the community: the largest and most popular ones, those that are free to attend, or those that openly publish the content after the event. We hope the list will help you plan your schedule for 2025.

If we’re missing some great events, please let us know (our Discord is the best place to do it). We’ll update this post at least once per quarter. 

Disclaimer: all information about listed events comes from their websites. We simply put it together.
