ICDAR is the main conference for document analysis and recognition, covering handwriting and text recognition, layout analysis, historical document processing, scene text, and the document-focused corner of computer vision and NLP. It is the flagship event of the IAPR technical committee in the area.
The 21st edition runs August 18 to 22, 2027 in Kuala Lumpur, with the organisers expecting around 450 participants. The venue has not been announced.
ICDAR runs two submission tracks and their deadlines are nothing alike. The conference track closes on February 28, 2027, with reviews returned April 20, a rebuttal by April 27, notification on May 15 and camera-ready copy on June 5.
The IJDAR journal track closes on November 15, 2026, three and a half months before the conference track, with an initial decision on January 15, revised versions due April 1 and a final decision on May 15, 2027. Both tracks therefore land their final answer on the same day, but the journal route asks you to commit a full quarter earlier. If a journal publication is the goal, that decision has to be made in autumn 2026, not in the new year.
Kuala Lumpur also hosts SIGGRAPH Asia in December 2026, eight months before this.
