Researchers, engineers and executives who follow artificial intelligence would do well to block out their 2027 dates this autumn. As of 12 November 2026, seven major AI conferences have published their official schedules for the period from February to September 2027, from London to Rio de Janeiro by way of San Jose and Seattle. Two destinations stand out: ICML is heading to Brazil and CVPR is setting up in Seattle.
February and March: engineers, executives and chips
- AI Engineer Europe, London, 17 to 19 February 2027. The European edition of the AI engineers’ conference will be held at ExCeL, with 3,000 engineers expected according to the organiser. As its name suggests, it is aimed primarily at engineers who build AI into products.
- HumanX, Las Vegas, 8 to 10 March 2027. This event for business leaders takes place at Mandalay Bay, for its third US edition. It is paired with a second European edition in Amsterdam, at the RAI, from 20 to 22 September 2027. Across its two editions, the organiser announces more than 12,000 decision-makers, more than 550 speakers and more than 600 journalists.
- NVIDIA GTC, San Jose, 15 to 18 March 2027. The graphics processor maker’s conference returns to California in March. Registration is not yet open: the website only offers to notify visitors when it does.
April to June: the season of the major scientific conferences
- ICLR, California, 26 to 30 April 2027. The conference on learning representations has posted its dates, but not yet its exact location: the section on the host venue has yet to be filled in. An image suggests San Francisco’s Moscone Center, without written confirmation.
- CVPR, Seattle, 20 to 25 June 2027. The leading computer vision conference will be held in Washington State. The convention centre has not yet been clearly specified.
- AI Engineer World’s Fair, San Francisco, 29 June to 1 July 2027. The event returns to Moscone West and is targeting 10,000 attendees, including engineers, founders and enterprise AI leaders.
Summer: ICML heads to Brazil
The most striking change concerns ICML, one of the leading machine learning conferences. Its website announces the 2027 edition at Riocentro, in Rio de Janeiro, from 31 July to 6 August. The programme is split up: an expo day on 31 July, tutorials on 1 August, the main conference from 2 to 4 August and workshops on 5 and 6 August. For research teams in Latin America, and even West Africa, this choice may make travel easier than a North American or Asian edition.
What has not been announced yet
Two major software vendor events are still missing. The Google I/O website only shows the 2026 edition, and the Microsoft Build website displays no 2027 date as of 12 November 2026. As for Dubai AI Week, its 2027 date could not be confirmed on its official website, which was not responding: it is therefore not included here.
When building an annual programme, a simple rule applies: scientific conferences such as ICLR, CVPR and ICML often require you to have submitted a paper or to register very early, while corporate events such as HumanX or GTC target buyers and partners. The two families do not serve the same purposes.
