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!

Thank you to our sponsors Iconic for their kind support to make this workshop happen! Follow them at www.iconicgames.io and stay tuned for their first game dropping soon! 🎮🕹️

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!

Thank you to our headline sponsors Medal for their kind support to make this workshop happen - go check them out at medal.tv to capture and share your PC gaming highlights! 🎮🕹️

We’re excited to announce our next speaker: Roberta Raileanu ( Google DeepMind)! Roberta will discuss the history and future of NetHack, the iconic roguelike that continues to challenge RL and LLM agents alike. ⚔️ Join us to learn how we can develop agents capable of tackling open-endedness!

We’re excited to announce our first speaker: James MacGlashan (@jmac-ai.bsky.social), from Sony AI! 🚀 James led the development of GT Sophy, a superhuman RL racing agent in Gran Turismo! Join his talk to learn about how GT Sophy was used as an opponent in GT7 and what’s next for RL in gaming.
