---------------------------------

*Applied Machine Learning Days* https://www.appliedmldays.org is the largest event focusing on the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence on various domains.

Following the successful inaugural event in January 2017, we are excited to announce the second edition of AMLD, to be held again at the Swiss Tech Convention Center at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. The goal of the event is to get machine learning techniques out to the larger community of both scientific researchers and industry practitioners, and to new application domains.

In addition, the event will offer plenty of opportunities to make interesting connections with many industry professionals, scientists, students and anyone interested.

This year, in addition to main conference, we will use the preceding weekend to focus on “hands on” experiences using machine learning. We are now opening a call for workshops (or other similar events). If you or your organization would like to do a half day, full day or two day workshop at AMLD, this is your chance to make it happen!

Three themes will be particularly featured during the weekend:

- open data & open source; - women in technology; - and "machine learning in business and in society".

We also accept workshops proposals related to applied machine learning in general.

The workshops will take place on January 27 & 28, 2018 (Saturday and Sunday) on the ground floor of the Swiss Tech Convention Center. Food and drinks will be provided throughout the day.

If in doubt, reach out! If you have an idea for a workshop or an event, but are unsure, please talks to us! Reach out to one of the co-organizers Marcel Salathé marcel.salathe@epfl.ch, Martin Jaggi martin.jaggi@epfl.ch or Robert West robert.west@epfl.ch.
