The 34rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-25) will be held in Montréal, Canada from 16-22 August. The programme will feature keynote talks, tutorials, workshops, competitions, and oral and poster presentations. There will also be four special tracks, focussing on: AI for social good, AI and arts, human-centred AI, and AI enabling critical technologies.
An exciting addition this year is the satellite event, to be held in Guangzhou, China, from 29-31 August. This second venue will host invited talks, workshops, tutorials, technical sessions, posters and competitions.
Invited talks
There are 12 invited talks planned for this year’s conference. Seven of these will be held in Montréal, with the other five being hosted at the Guangzhou venue.
