Call for proposals: 2027 IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CAI)

Proposal Pre-Screening Form due Wednesday, 1 October 2025

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) invites proposals to host the 2027 IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CAI). This premier international conference and exhibition bridges academic excellence with industrial relevance, emphasizing AI's practical applications and promoting its adoption across various sectors while maintaining high technical standards.

IEEE CAI serves as a hub for AI leaders and innovators from industry, government, startups, and academia. Attendees have the opportunity to engage directly with researchers, experts, and solution providers to gain inspiration, explore cutting-edge solutions, and exchange impactful ideas.

This conference is a collaborative initiative jointly sponsored by IEEE and four of its Societies: the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS), the Computer Society (CS), the Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMC), and the Signal Processing Society (SPS).

We welcome proposals for locations that boast a strong industry presence, particularly in regions rich with artificial intelligence opportunities and applications. A key objective of the conference is to showcase AI’s transformative impact across diverse vertical markets.
