November 17 & 18, 2014 @ Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona

"1st International Conference on Predictive APIs and Apps"

  • Program (with access to slides) (Lanyrd)
  • Videos (YouTube)

It was a great crowd — it really felt like everyone there was excited about the space and where it might go in the next few years. It reminded me of the first PyData I attended a few years ago.

Greg Lamp, CTO at Yhat ('14 speaker)

PAPIs had great talks on “real world” Machine Learning implementations from all over the world. It was also an opportunity to meet interesting people, partners and clients to collaborate with in the future. We look forward to meeting many more next year!!

Andrés Gonzalez, Big Data Manager at CleverTask

I was impressed by the quality and diversity of speakers and attendees. It attests to the skills and experience of the organizers. I walked away with valuable knowledge and also made new friends. PAPIs surpassed my expectations and I look forward to the next one.

Rizwan Mallal, VP of Operations at Forum Systems ('14 attendee)

PAPIs was the best conference I visited in 2014
