We’re excited to announce our final keynote speaker: @michaelhbowling.bsky.social (University of Alberta). 🎲🃏 In this talk, he will explore what drew him to explore using 40-year-old video games to test RL agents! Join us at @rl-conference.bsky.social to find out more about the Atari Benchmark!

We’re excited to announce our next speaker: @pcastr.bsky.social (Google DeepMind, Mila) 🎮🕹️ His research tackles core challenges in deep RL for real-world impact, like network scalability and plasticity loss! Join us at @rl-conference.bsky.social to learn more about Pablo’s work!

We’re excited to announce our next keynote speaker: @neuroai.bsky.social (Microsoft Research) 🧠 Ida studies how humans and AI build world models for memory, exploration, and planning. Her talk will show how game-playing AI reveals insights into human and artificial cognition. Join us at #RLC2025!

We’re excited to announce our next keynote speaker: @togelius.bsky.social (NYU, modl.ai)! 🕹️ Julian will share why games are essential testbeds for AI and how RL powers game-playing agents, player modeling, and procedural content generation. Join us on August 5th to learn more about Julian's work!
