Deep learning is a powerful tool that many companies are leveraging in 2026. Thankfully, there are many effective ways to learn deep learning. After taking a course and learning Deep Learning Fundamentals, conferences can provide great supplemental information to help you stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies.

Data practitioners and business leaders looking to leverage deep learning in their organizations face an interesting problem many other industries don’t. The field of deep learning changes very quickly.

ChatGPT didn’t exist until late 2022; now, it has over over 800 million users. This demonstrates the explosive growth Generative AI and other Deep learning technologies can have in a short time period.

Deep learning conferences provide a great venue for attendees to learn the latest trends and technologies from experts and senior leaders who are using them at top tech organizations. They typically include tutorials, workshops, keynote discussions, and scheduled networking opportunities in a short 2-3 day event.

In this article we will describe the 12 best deep learning conferences in 2026. We will walk through the dates, locations, and costs of each in addition to the reasons the conference made the list and why they may be a good fit for your unique situation. You can read about the top machine learning conferences and top AI conferences in separate articles.
