Annual five-day hybrid conference for machine learning and generative AI practitioners, held in Munich each June at the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre, combining bootcamps, workshops and main conference sessions on ML engineering, MLOps, generative AI, deep learning and AI developer tooling; sister event to MLcon London, produced by S&S Media.
MLcon Munich is the German edition of the ML Conference (MLcon) series, produced by Software & Support Media Group (S&S Media). It is a sister event to MLcon London: both are produced by the same organiser, follow the same programme architecture and thematic structure, and target the same primary audience of ML engineering practitioners. The Munich edition is the home-market event for S&S Media, which is Germany-based, and functions as the main gathering point for the DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) ML engineering community as well as an internationally attended European edition.
The event uses a hybrid format, with both on-site and remote ticket options. The 2026 Munich edition is upcoming (22-26 June 2026), with the conference actively accepting registrations at the time of verification.
Note on the series relationship: MLcon Munich and MLcon London are explicitly described by the organiser as part of the same global series. They share a programme structure, topic tracks and the MLcon brand. Speakers and topics may overlap, but speaker lineups are not identical across editions.
The 2026 Munich edition runs five days at the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre. The programme structure:
22-23 June (bootcamps/workshops): Multi-day intensive training
24-25 June (main conference days): Keynotes, sessions and expo
26 June (workshop day):
Ticket options include on-site tickets (with savings up to EUR 175 for early registration and a 10% team discount) and remote tickets. Access to the devmio community platform is included with registration.
June timing in Munich places MLcon Munich two weeks after MLcon London (May) and in a dense period of European AI conferences. Its position in the global MLcon series makes it the natural European follow-up for practitioners who attended Amsterdam (April) or London (May) and wish to continue with in-depth training.
Within Germany and the DACH region specifically, MLcon Munich is the primary gathering for ML engineering practitioners. Germany hosts a significant ML and AI research and development community (DLR, various Fraunhofer institutes, large automotive AI teams, and a substantial enterprise tech sector), making Munich a relevant hub for this audience. The event does not have direct German-market competitors in its specific niche of practitioner-focused ML engineering conferences.
The primary audience is technical, with the same profile as MLcon London: machine learning engineers, data scientists, MLOps practitioners, AI developers and software engineers. The Munich edition additionally draws from the German-speaking DACH market, which may include a higher proportion of practitioners from industrial AI, automotive and manufacturing sectors given Munich's industrial base.
The organiser markets the event explicitly to practitioners seeking applicable, skills-based content. The conference website notes that bootcamp and workshop formats provide "hands-on experience that directly aligns with our team's goals and challenges."
Attendance is stated at approximately 600 participants (self-reported by the organiser; no independent verification is available).
The five-day format follows the same architecture as other MLcon editions:
Bootcamps (22-23 June, intensive multi-day training):
Main conference (24-25 June):
Workshops (23 June and 26 June, half-day or full-day):
Remote track:
devmio community access: included with registration; provides access to online articles, webinars and past session recordings.
Programme content follows the global MLcon series structure:
The 2026 Munich edition introduces an explicit AI Product Strategy Day bootcamp (trainer: Dr. Pieter Buteneers), reflecting growing demand for ML practitioners who bridge engineering and product decision-making.
No, they are separate editions of the same series. Both are produced by S&S Media, share the MLcon brand and programme architecture, and target the same practitioner audience. However, speaker lineups, workshop trainers and local sponsor configurations differ between editions. The Munich edition carries the home-market advantage for S&S Media and may feature more German-speaking practitioners and DACH-based organisations.
The event is not appropriate for non-technical business or executive audiences. It is not a governance, policy or investment conference. Practitioners from enterprise digital transformation, sales or marketing functions who want high-level AI strategy content without engineering depth will find the programme technically oriented throughout. It is also not an academic research conference: no peer review or paper submission process exists.
The global MLcon series operates primarily in English. However, the Munich edition is noted on the organiser's website as including some German-language programming (the "Camps" section of the global site describes certain bootcamp content as "German only"). Main conference sessions are in English.
MLcon Munich 2026 takes place at the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre (Hochstraße 3, 81669 Munich). The hotel is located in the Haidhausen district, approximately 5 minutes by S-Bahn from Marienplatz (city centre). It is directly above Rosenheimer Platz S-Bahn station, which provides connections to Munich Hauptbahnhof (10 minutes) and Munich Airport MUC (approximately 35 minutes via S8).
The hotel offers 18 meeting rooms with capacity for up to 550 guests. The contained multi-floor conference layout gives MLcon Munich a more compact, community-oriented feel compared to larger convention centre editions. The nearby Deutsches Museum (technology and science) and the Gasteig cultural centre are within walking distance.
Address: Holiday Inn Munich City Centre, Hochstraße 3, 81669 Munich, Germany.
Software & Support Media Group (S&S Media) is a Germany-based technology media company. The MLcon brand is its primary large-format conference product, supported by the devmio community platform. The company produces six annual MLcon editions globally (Amsterdam, London, San Diego, Munich, New York, Berlin) and maintains a community newsletter with 10,000+ subscribers.
S&S Media is a commercial publisher and event organiser with no academic or governmental affiliation. The Munich edition is the company's home-market event. Organiser contact: https://mlconference.ai/contact-us/. Company imprint (including legal details): https://mlconference.ai/imprint/.
MLcon Munich is the German home edition of the global MLcon series, occupying a privileged position in the DACH practitioner market for ML engineering; its Holiday Inn venue gives it a contained, community-oriented character distinct from the larger convention-centre format of some other MLcon editions, and the 2026 programme reflects increased focus on applied GenAI tooling and the Model Context Protocol.
