the pytorch foundation is accepting nominations for its ambassador program, which recognizes community members who organize events, write technical content, and mentor new users. the program started over a year ago and now aims to expand representation in africa, latin america, the middle east, oceania, southeast asia, and eastern europe. ambassadors commit to a two-year term and focus on at least one area: organizing events, creating tutorials or blog posts, mentoring, or representing pytorch at conferences.
selected ambassadors receive official designation, a featured profile on the pytorch website, promotion through social media, and access to private collaboration channels with staff and other ambassadors. they also get event planning toolkits, reimbursement for approved community activities, complimentary admission to the pytorch conference, branded materials, and opportunities to speak at industry events. the program emphasizes professional development and networking with machine learning leaders globally.
nominations are open until june 18, 2026, and individuals can nominate themselves or others. applicants must be at least 18, follow the code of conduct, demonstrate technical knowledge through contributions or community leadership, and commit to a two-year term. selection criteria include community impact, technical expertise, consistent activity, and commitment to openness and inclusion. chosen ambassadors will be notified in september and announced in october 2026.
why it matters: this program helps data scientists and ml engineers gain recognition, build skills, and expand their professional network while contributing to pytorch's global community.
