GUIDELINES FOR ORGANISING AND BIDDING TO HOST THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PATTERN RECOGNITION (ICPR)
Call for Bids to Host ICPR 2028
Deadline: August 5, 2024
The International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR) is the major scientific event organized under the auspices of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). The aim of this conference is to bring together international experts to share their work and experiences and to promote research and development in Pattern Recognition.
The conference is hosted by an institution under the auspices of an endorsing IAPR member organization (national pattern recognition society). Any such institutions interested in making a proposal to host an ICPR must proceed according to the rules outlined in the latest version of the guidelines.
It has been the tradition that the location of ICPR conferences follows a rotating schedule among different continents. Hence, proposals from the Americas are strongly encouraged. However, high quality bids from other locations will also be reviewed for consideration.
NOTE: the Bidding and Hosting Guidelines have recently been revised as two separate documents. The content has also changed from previous versions. It is important for prospective hosts to carefully read both documents.
The submission of a bid implies full agreement with the guidelines and procedures for hosting the conference as well as with the IAPR constitution.
Deadlines and Decisions:
Bids to host ICPR 2028 must be submitted to the Chair of the IAPR Conferences and Meetings Committee (C&M) by August 5, 2024
The selection of the conference venue will be made by the IAPR Governing Board (GB) during its meeting at ICPR 2024 in Kolkata, India.
Institutions interested in organizing ICPR 2028 should submit the bid to C&M Chair Anna Esposito (anna.esposito@unicampania.it) by August 5, 2024.

A Note to Professional Conference Organizers
Proposals to host the International Conference on Pattern Recognition (IAPR’s main conference) come from the leaders of one or more of our member societies, which are located all around the world.
The leaders of the proposal make their own decision whether to engage with a Professional Conference Organizer. If they wish, PCO’s can reach out to the leaders of the relevant members societies to ask whether they are planning an ICPR hosting bid.
ICPR normally uses a geographic rotation scheme, although this is never guaranteed. The final decision about the location of an ICPR is made by vote of the IAPR Governing Board.
