TensorFlow User Groups (or TFUGs, for short) are a community of curious, passionate machine learning developers and researchers around the world. TFUGs play an important role in helping developers share their knowledge and experience in machine learning, and the latest TensorFlow updates. Google and the TensorFlow team are proud of (and grateful for) the many TFUGs around the world, and we’re excited to see them grow and become active developer communities.

Currently, there are more than 75 TFUGs around the globe, on 6 continents, with events in more than 15 languages, engaged in many creative ways to bring developers together. In this article, we wanted to share some global updates from around the world, and information on how you can get involved. If you would like to start a TFUG, please check this page or email us.

Here are a few examples of the many activities they are running around the world.
