The International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) is the most prestigious international gathering of Artificial Intelligence researchers. Every year, IJCAI is held in a different country jointly sponsored by the IJCAI organization and the national AI society of the host nation.
The European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is the most prestigious European gathering in the field.
In 2026, IJCAI and ECAI will be held jointly as the 35th IJCAI and the 28th ECAI.
IJCAI–ECAI 2026 will take place in in Bremen, Germany, from August 15 to August 21, 2026.
IJCAI-ECAI 2026 will gather top AI researchers and experts from all over the world and will feature many in-person participants from around the globe. We invite you to participate in the sponsor and exhibitor program for IJCAI-ECAI 2026. This will provide an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your brand to some of the world’s brightest minds working in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Machine Learning – areas at the forefront of the world’s most exciting technological changes. Your brand will additionally be exposed to millions of viewers and readers through media reports on the conference.
Your support will allow us to expand participation in IJCAI-ECAI 2026 by providing support to students and junior researchers and avail yourself of job-matching opportunities offered by the IJCAI and ECAI Organization, for instance. This increased participation will, in turn, allow you to increase your brand awareness in the high-tech labour market. Thank you for supporting IJCAI-ECAI 2026, and we look forward to welcoming you to Bremen!

Scope
Based on previous IJCAI conferences we expect the attendance of over 3,000 participants, drawn from the world’s top technical universities, research labs, and industry companies.
The IJCAI-ECAI 2026 technical standards are very high. Typically, only about 15%, or fewer, of submitted papers are selected for oral or poster presentation at IJCAI conferences. This means that our participants are drawn from the world’s best AI experts.

Objective of the Collaboration
IJCAI-ECAI 2026 thanks all sponsors for their generous support which allows us to increase support for students and academic researchers.
The easiest and most typical means by which sponsors may contribute to IJCAI – ECAI 2026 is through a flat amount of funding towards the organization of the conference in general. IJCAI-ECAI 2026 is pleased to offer several tiers of benefits to sponsors. In addition, the organizing committee will do its best to accommodate alternative forms of support. The intention of the IJCAI-ECAI 2026 Local Arrangements Committee is to ensure that all sponsors receive the highest recognition in return for their generous support of the conference.
