For engineers shipping AI
in production.

LatentShift is a one-day conference in Istanbul for the engineers who build, ship, and keep AI running in production. Not launch demos or roadmaps. The real work: evals, infrastructure, latency, cost, drift, debugging, security, and the trade-offs that show up after the demo works.

The first edition is on 17 October 2026 at İPA, the Istanbul Planning Agency campus in Bakırköy. One single-track day of long talks, short talks, and hands-on labs, delivered roughly 70% in English and 30% in Turkish. General admission is €5, and the Call for Proposals is open until 15 August 2026, with speaker decisions on 5 September 2026.

Bring a real story from AI in production.

We're looking for talks from builders who have built, trained, fine-tuned, evaluated, deployed, debugged, scaled, or maintained AI systems in production. Tell us what problem you ran into, what signals helped you understand it, what trade-offs you made, and what finally worked.

We're curating a single-day, single-stage lineup. No parallel tracks. Everyone sees every talk. Speakers will be announced in batches after the CFP closes.

This is the first edition. The companies on the inaugural sponsor list get permanent recognition as founding supporters; their logos travel with every future edition's "thanks to" page. Four tiers. Limited slots.
