About the Conference

  • Indiaโ€™s most vibrant big data, ML and data science conference since 2012.
  • A platform for practitioners to share real-life case studies of working with data, ML systems and data science - across advertising, e-commerce, OEMs, automobile industry and platforms.
  • Relevant themes and topics each year, which helps practitioners to gain practical insights from The Fifth Elephant Conference.

In addition to speaker sessions, participants can also join in interactive sessions, such as:

  • Workshops & tutorials
  • Roundtables
  • Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions, where you will be paired with similar people in the same industry

The Fifth Elephant conference is community-led event, with topics and speakers curated, peer-reviewed and supported by community editors.

But perhaps most importantly the conference has been a place for developers and engineers to get together, share experiences and explore fresh ideas.

This has made our conferences a space for some great beginnings. A platform where ideas are shared, dreams begin to take shape and fruitful collaborations can be created. For instance, to name just a few...

  • Qubole found their first Indian customer at our 2014 conference.
  • NetApp Accelerator discovered startups for funding at the 2018 edition.
  • Aerospike announced the open source edition of their offerings as Platinum Sponsor of the 2014 conference.

Participant testimonials ๐Ÿ—’๏ธ

Hereโ€™s what past participants had to say about the conference...

โ€œThe Fifth Elephant has been a community of passionate and talented people in tech and is for me one of the most valuable sources of practical insights into ML and AI and related aspectsโ€.
- Manu Hegde, Graduate Research Assistant at University of Washington Bothell

โ€œI have been a regular attendee at The Fifth Elephant events since 2016 and I always take away a lot of applied wisdom from the speakers and other practitioners I meet. Often, this is about common problem but many times it is also about topics that I was not even aware of. This definitely broadens my view. The talks are on-point and derive from real world experience with very little to no marketing fluffโ€.
- Sidharth Ramachandran, Senior Director for Knowledge Engineering at RTL Deutschland
