Starting this year, we plan to host two separate events for PyTorch: one for developers and users to discuss core technical development, ideas and roadmaps called “Developer Day”, and another for the PyTorch ecosystem and industry communities to showcase their work and discover opportunities to collaborate called “Ecosystem Day” (scheduled for early 2021).

The PyTorch Developer Day (#PTD2) is kicking off on November 12, 2020, 8AM PST with a full day of technical talks on a variety of topics, including updates to the core framework, new tools and libraries to support development across a variety of domains. You’ll also see talks covering the latest research around systems and tooling in ML. To watch the event, please visit this link.

We’ve created a handy schedule below to see all the speakers and their respective subjects on the day of the event. *Please note, all times are subject to change.
