Best AI Conferences

Artificial intelligence carries the widest venue spread in computer science: a handful of A* generalist conferences absorb the bulk of high-profile submissions, while several hundred specialist meetings sit at B and C. The A* set — AAAI, IJCAI, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR — is where reviewing load, visibility and rejection rates are all highest.

For a first submission, tier matters less than fit. A well-matched A or B venue with an engaged programme committee usually produces sharper reviews than a scattergun A* attempt at a 14-25% acceptance rate. Where a rate has been curated it appears on the conference page.
