The top machine learning conferences of 2027 are ICLR and CVC (April), AISTATS (May), COLT (June to July), Computing Conference (July), ICML and KDD (July to August) and IntelliSys (September), with NeurIPS closing out 2026 in December. Here they are by area, with dates, cities and what each venue is best for. Dates were checked in November 2026, so confirm them on the official page before you plan travel.
Key Takeaways
Match the venue to your contribution: theory points to COLT, benchmark results to ICML, NeurIPS or ICLR, and applied systems to KDD, Computing Conference or IntelliSys.
Flagships give reach. Focused venues such as IntelliSys, Computing Conference and CVC give fit and a smaller room.
Every conference lists its current submission window on its own call for papers page.

How to Choose a Machine Learning Conference
A theorem or formal guarantee: COLT, or AISTATS if statistics is central.
An empirical result on standard benchmarks: ICML, NeurIPS or ICLR.
A deployed system or data-driven application: KDD, Computing Conference or IntelliSys.
A vision model or pipeline: CVC or CVPR.
Check each venue's review process, page limits and proceedings publisher before you write. Our guide on how to write a research paper walks through the writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best machine learning conferences?
ICML, NeurIPS and ICLR are the most visible general venues. AISTATS, COLT and KDD lead in statistics, theory and data mining, and focused events such as IntelliSys, Computing Conference and CVC suit applied and vision work.
When is ICML 2027?
ICML 2027 runs 31 July to 6 August 2027 at Riocentro in Rio de Janeiro, with the main conference on 2 to 4 August. Its call for papers had not been posted when we checked.
Is ICLR 2027 in San Francisco?
The official page lists California and says venue details will follow, so confirm the city before you book travel.
Where do I find a conference's current submission window?
On its call for papers page. Windows change every year, so the official page is the only reliable source.
Which machine learning conferences accept paper submissions in 2027?
Most flagships, including ICML, ICLR and NeurIPS, run annual calls, and focused events such as IntelliSys (Artificial Intelligence Conference), Computing Conference and CVC also list Machine Learning, AI or deep learning tracks. Each call for papers page lists the current submission rounds.
Is there a machine learning conference in Europe in 2027?
Yes. IntelliSys (Artificial Intelligence Conference) takes place in Amsterdam on 2 to 3 September 2027, and Computing Conference takes place in London on 8 to 9 July 2027. Both list Machine Learning as a track, and CVC covers deep learning for vision in Amsterdam on 15 to 16 April.
