The agenda for Ray Summit 2026 is packed with valuable content, including hands-on training sessions led by engineers who work with Ray daily. Participants will have the chance to meet experts in the field, including maintainers of Ray and vLLM, as well as leaders in machine learning infrastructure and applied AI research. The conference aims to provide insights into real-world AI systems that are operational under real load, rather than just demos.
One of the highlights of this year's event is the co-location with the first-ever vLLM conference, allowing attendees to access two communities with a single ticket. The conference will feature a variety of speakers from leading AI teams, sharing their experiences and lessons learned in building and deploying AI systems. Topics will cover four frontiers: foundation model training, multimodal data curation, physical AI, and LLM reinforcement learning.
Ray Summit 2026 is not just about listening to talks; it is an interactive experience where participants can engage in networking opportunities, attend breakout sessions, and enjoy social events like the Ray Party. The event is designed for engineers building real-world AI infrastructure, focusing on large-scale data pipelines, distributed foundation model training systems, and high-performance inference platforms. With a mix of keynotes, hands-on training, and community engagement, Ray Summit 2026 promises to be an enriching experience for all attendees.
