Dear all, The 2nd *Applied Machine Learning Days* are around the corner! The event will be held at the SwissTech Convention Center on the EPFL campus in *Lausanne, Switzerland,* and will span four days *(January 27-30):* two days of hands-on workshops on the weekend, and two days of conference with amazing speakers, on Monday and Tuesday. You can find the full program and get tickets at appliedMLDays.org <http://www.appliedMLDays.org> There will be workshops for a lot of different areas, from technical tutorials to business workshops to girls’ coding classes to deep learning crash courses (even one for artists!). The open food hackathon will also happen on the same weekend in the same building. The conference will have speakers from very different domains and actors, including DeepMind, Facebook, Zebra Med, Swisscom, Google, and of course some from academia as well. There will also be poster sessions, panel discussions, a conference dinner, a job fair, and plenty of time to network. Childcare is available as well. The generous support from our sponsors has allowed us to keep this non-profit event affordable. We hope to see you there! All the best, and keep on (machine) learning in 2018, Marcel Salathé Martin Jaggi Bob West
