Event guide
Why this event is on the calendar
ODSC AI West is a training-heavy data science and applied AI event. The official site presents it as a place to gain hands-on skills and lists focus areas ranging from generative AI, agents and RAG to ML, AI engineering, multimodal systems, MLOps, responsible AI and data engineering.
The value proposition is practical learning rather than a single vendor’s roadmap: attendees can use the program to update technical skills, compare tools and meet practitioners across data, engineering and AI. The current official site preserves substantial 2025 material while the detailed 2026 schedule continues to develop, so the final agenda should be confirmed before booking.
Who gets value from it
Data scientists, ML and software engineers, AI product and platform teams, technical managers, analysts, researchers and people reskilling into AI.
How the day tends to work
Expect talks, workshops/training, an expo and networking. The organizer’s prior materials describe hundreds of hours of content, plus dedicated community events and academic, nonprofit and government participation options.
