ICML 2026 — International Conference on Machine Learning

The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) f ture meetings page confirms that the 2026 edition will be held in Seoul, South Korea from 6–12 July 2026 at COEX. ICML is one of the most prestigious conferences in artificial intelligence and machine learning, bringing together researchers, students, industry practitioners and investors from around the world.

The Seoul conference will continue ICML"s mission of presenting state-of-the-art research across the breadth of machine learning, including theory, algorithms, applications, ethics and social impacts.Although specific programme details for 2026 are not yet available, the conference is expected to feature the traditional mix of peer-reviewed paper presentations, poster sessions, tutorials, workshops and industry exhibits.

Keynotes from leading scientists and engineers will address emerging trends such as reinforcement learning, generative modelling, large-scale optimisation, trustworthy AI and causal inference. Workshops will explore niche topics and encourage collaboration among experts and newcomers alike.

Exhibitions will showcase AI hardware, software and services, and companies will recruit top talent.COEX (the Convention and Exhibition Center) is a major convention complex located in the Gangnam district of Seoul.

It offers extensive conference facilities, hotels, shopping and cultural attractions. Hosting ICML in Seoul reflects the growing prominence of the Asia-Pacific region in AI research and provides convenient access for participants from across Asia.

The conference is likely to attract a diverse, global audience and foster new partnerships between researchers in East Asia and the rest of the world. By announcing the dates and venue early, the ICML organisers give attendees ample time to plan travel and submissions.

The 2026 conference is expected to build on the success of previous years and continue to shape the direction of machine learning research.
