If you want to publish at a 2027 AI conference, some of the best-known deadlines have already passed, and a few important ones arrive within days. As of 4 November 2026, the CVPR 2027 paper deadline is 16 November, IJCAI and ACL are due in early January, and ICML 2027 has not announced its dates. SAI's CVC, IntelliSys and Computing Conference run several rounds, listed on their Call for Papers pages. This page separates what is still open from what has closed, so you can plan your next submission.
Every date below was checked on official conference pages on 4 November 2026. Deadlines are usually in Anywhere on Earth time unless noted, and organisers do extend them, so confirm on the linked page.
Last checked: 4 November 2026. This is the one guide on our site that lists exact deadlines, so it is the one that ages. Our other guides cover venues, scope and how to choose, and they stay current for longer.

CVPR is the closest. Its supplementary material deadline is 23 November 2026, and final decisions arrive on 25 February 2027. If a deadline is out of reach, SAI's focused conferences run more than one round. See the Call for Papers pages for CVC, IntelliSys (Artificial Intelligence Conference) and Computing Conference for their current rounds.
Where Do NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI and ICLR Stand?
These four attract the most search interest, so here is a direct answer for each.
NeurIPS
NeurIPS 2026 takes place 6 to 12 December in Sydney, with satellite events in Atlanta and Paris from 9 to 13 December. Its submission cycle is over. The NeurIPS 2027 call for papers has not been announced. For planning purposes only, the 2026 cycle (see the NeurIPS 2026 dates page) used a 4 May abstract deadline, a 6 May paper deadline and a 24 September notification. Treat that as a pattern, not a promise.
ICML
ICML 2027 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 31 July to 6 August, with the main conference on 2 to 4 August. The official page says the call for papers will be posted soon, so no deadline is confirmed. Check icml.cc for the announcement.
AAAI
AAAI-27 runs 16 to 23 February 2027 in Montreal. The abstract deadline was 21 July 2026 and the paper deadline was 28 July 2026. Both have passed, and notifications are due on 30 November 2026.
ICLR
ICLR 2027 will take place 26 to 30 April 2027. The home page lists San Francisco, but the dates page shows the location as to be announced, so confirm the venue before booking. The abstract deadline was 18 September and the paper deadline was 25 September 2026. Reviews are scheduled for 5 November and decisions for 16 December 2026.
Which Deadlines Have Already Closed?
Closed deadlines still matter. They tell you when to start preparing for the next cycle.
Event | Paper deadline | Notification | Event |
|---|---|---|---|
28 Jul 2026 | 30 Nov 2026 | 16 to 23 Feb 2027, Montreal | |
24 Aug 2026 | 2 Nov 2026 (main track) | 15 to 19 Feb 2027, Hong Kong | |
28 Aug 2026 | Final 2 Dec 2026 | 6 to 9 Apr 2027, Thessaloniki | |
25 Sep 2026 | 16 Dec 2026 | 26 to 30 Apr 2027, San Francisco per the home page (confirm venue) | |
6 Oct 2026 | 20 Jan 2027 | 3 to 6 May 2027, Montreal | |
8 Oct 2026 | 21 Dec 2026 | 3 to 7 May 2027, Hanoi | |
25 Oct 2026 | 4 Jan 2027 | 10 to 14 May 2027, Dublin | |

26 Jul 2026 (cycle 1) | 14 Nov 2026 (cycle 1) | 1 to 5 Aug 2027, San Jose |
KDD uses more than one submission cycle, and only cycle 1 was confirmed on the official page. Check the site for later cycles. WACV 2027 (6 to 8 January, Florida) and BMVC 2026 (23 to 26 November, Lancaster) are also past their submission dates.
How Do You Build a Deadline Strategy That Works?
A good strategy treats the calendar as a pipeline. Each submission feeds the next one.
Submit early to a flagship, then plan the fallback. Notification dates often fall months after submission, so choose a second venue whose deadline falls after the first notification date.
Use rolling and multi-round conferences to keep momentum. Multi-round conferences, such as IntelliSys 2027, offer more than one submission date for the same event.
Count backward from the event. Paper deadline, notification, camera-ready, registration and visa timing all compete for the same months.
Plan funding early. Our travel grants guide recommends starting three to four months before the event, and our upcoming AI conferences guide lists event dates and cities. For field-specific lists, see machine learning conferences.
Track the dates in one place. A simple spreadsheet with deadline, time zone, page limit and notification date prevents the most common mistake: missing a deadline by a time zone.
Some conferences, including SAI's, run more than one round per edition. Each SAI Call for Papers page lists every round with its submission, notification and camera-ready dates. Review is double-blind, with at least three regular or two senior programme committee members per paper, and proceedings are published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems. SAI proceedings are submitted for indexing in Web of Science, Scopus, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH and SCImago. For an explanation of what that means, see our Scopus indexed conferences guide.
