IJCAI is the oldest and one of the two largest general artificial intelligence conferences, covering the whole field from search, planning and knowledge representation to machine learning, multi-agent systems, robotics and the social impact of AI. It is CORE A* and historically alternates around the world.
The 2027 edition is split across two countries. The main conference is in Kyoto, Japan from August 7 to 13, 2027. A separate satellite event runs in Hengqin, China from August 15 to 17, immediately afterwards. If you plan to attend both you need two sets of accommodation and travel between Japan and southern China in the intervening weekend, so check which parts of the programme matter to you before booking. The hotels and map on this page cover the Kyoto leg.
The venue in Kyoto has not been announced yet. Submission runs on a two-stage deadline: abstracts are due 4 January 2027 and full papers 11 January 2027, with notification on 21 April 2027. All three are anywhere on earth, which the organisers state explicitly, so the deadline does not expire until the last time zone does.
Venue info not available.
