What are the key dates and schedule structure for ICML 2026?

ICML 2026 runs July 6–11, 2026, at the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center in Seoul, South Korea. The week is split into three phases: July 6 is Expo/Tutorial Day, July 7–9 is the Main Conference, and July 10–11 is dedicated to Workshops. If you are planning travel, submission, or registration, treat these as the fixed anchors and check the official Important Dates and Schedule pages for everything else, since individual deadlines and session times are published separately.

The week at a glance

The venue is the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center in Seoul. The dates and location were confirmed in the site's announcements, so this is the structure to plan around rather than a tentative outline.

Where to find specific deadlines

The homepage lists an Important Dates section alongside Schedule and Conference Planner links under Quick Links. These are the pages to use for:

• Paper submission and author deadlines
• Reviewer, area chair, and senior area chair instructions and their associated dates
• Registration windows and the pricing page
• Tutorial, workshop, and expo calls, each with their own nomination or submission timelines

Because calls are listed separately (Call for Papers, Call for Tutorial Nominations, Call for Position Papers, Call for Workshops, Call for Socials and Mentoring, Call for Tutorials, Call for Expo Presentations), each track has its own deadline. Do not assume a single conference-wide cutoff.

Planning around the schedule

If you are attending: Book around July 6–11 and decide whether you want the tutorial/expo day and workshop days in addition to the main conference. Hotel information and a conference planner (Scholar Inbox) are linked from the site to help build a personal agenda.

If you are submitting or reviewing: Use the Peer Review FAQ and the author/reviewer instruction pages first. The site explicitly directs submission, review, and policy questions there before anything else. Note that ICML 2026 has a published Policy for LLM use in Reviewing, which affects how reviews are prepared.

If you are organizing or attending side events: ICML 2026 states it has no official satellite meetings, satellite conferences, or affiliated satellite events. Any event using "ICML satellite" language is not organized, endorsed, or sponsored by ICML 2026 unless it appears on the official website. Plan only around programming published on icml.cc.

Common points of confusion

• One date range, three formats. July 6–11 is the full span, but the main conference itself is only July 7–9. Workshops are a separate two-day block at the end.
• Deadlines are per-track. Tutorials, workshops, papers, and expo presentations each have their own calls and timelines.
• Logistics questions have their own FAQ. Registration, visa invitation letters, and similar items are covered by the ICML Conference FAQ, not the Peer Review FAQ.

For anything time-sensitive, confirm against the Important Dates and Schedule pages on icml.cc rather than relying on secondhand summaries, since calls and announcements are updated there.
