AI Research vs AI Industry

​Join Women in AI and ML6 on March 12th, 2026 for an interactive evening exploring “AI Research vs. AI in Industry: Similarities, Differences, and Everything In Between.” where cutting-edge research meets real-world impact.

​As AI moves from research labs into production environments, success is no longer defined by model performance alone. Real-world deployment requires trade-offs, context, and collaboration. Together, we’ll explore the bridge between state-of-the-art research and applied AI — including the personal journeys of practitioners transitioning into industry and the realities behind creating tangible value with AI.

​What to expect:

• ​Lightning Talks
  Fast, insight-driven perspectives from women and non-binary practitioners shaping AI today.
• ​Fishbowl Discussion
  An open, dynamic conversation where you can jump in and join the conversation.
• ​Networking
  Connect with researchers, engineers, and industry leaders bridging academia and application.

​The event is designed for students, engineers, researchers, and curious minds exploring how AI moves from concept to real-world value..
