The International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) is one of the oldest and most prestigious venues in the field, running continuously since 1969 and covering the full spectrum of artificial intelligence research. Topics span knowledge representation, machine learning, planning, natural language processing, robotics, and multi-agent systems, with an A* CORE ranking reflecting its standing as the premier general AI conference alongside AAAI. Since 2018 it has been held jointly with ECAI, the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, expanding its reach across both academic and industry research communities worldwide. Workshops and tutorials are hosted at the University of Bremen in the days preceding the main conference at Messe Bremen.
