Conferences & Calendar
The premier conference for recommender systems research is the yearly ACM Conference Series on Recommender Systems. However, there are plenty of conferences in the fields of information retrieval, machine learning, user modeling, HCI, and other fields that publish research on recommender systems.
On this page, you find a list of relevant conferences (Google Sheet) and a calendar with the important dates (View Conference Calendar; Import Conference Calendar to your own Google Calendar).

Dagstuhl Seminar 24211: Evaluation Perspectives of Recommender Systems — Driving Research and Education
Recommender-Systems Evaluation is and maybe always has been a challenge. The Dagstuhl Seminar 24211 attempted to improve the current state of recommender-systems evaluation, and as a participant, I may report that it succeeded ;-). The Dagstuhl Seminar 24211, held from May 20 to May 24, 2024, focused on “Evaluation Perspectives of Recommender Systems: Driving Research […]

Yes! In 2024, there will be another Summer School on Recommender Systems (in Bari, Italy)
Once in a while, there are recommender-systems summer schools co-located with the ACM Recommender Systems Conference. Also, this year, there will be a summer school organized by Ludovico Boratto, Cataldo Musto and Fedelucio Narducci. Supposedly, as in previous years, there will be a panel of mentors who belong to the most reputable recsys researchers in […]
The ‘ACM TORS’ journal had a successful first-year
ACM Transactions on Recommender Systems (ACM TORS) had a successful first year. Since March 2023 four issues have been published.
“Recommender Systems – Frontiers in Big Data” has published 18 articles since its launch
We regularly report about the ACM TORS journal, but there is another journal for recommender systems research: The “Recommender Systems” journal that is part of the “Frontiers in Big Data” series. The Recommender Systems journal even was launched a few months before ACM TORS was announced. While the Frontiers Media publisher is subject to criticism, […]
2023 ACM RecSys Conference with the lowest number of industry sponsors since 2015
The 17th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (ACM RecSys) in Singapore has ended some weeks ago. Like every year, there were many amazing presentations, and many well-known IT companies sponsored the conference, including Google, Meta, Amazon, and Netflix. However, the number of sponsors of the ACM RecSys conference took a sharp fall this year. Only […]
The first Dutch-Belgian Workshop on Recommender Systems
I have been advocating more ‘local’ initiatives to connect the regional recommender-systems communities for a long time (e.g. I am still hoping for a European RecSys Conference). As such, I am very glad to see the announcement of the “DBWRS“. The DBWRS is the first Dutch-Belgian Recommender Systems Workshop, taking place 14-15 December 2023 in […]
Stats on Submitted & Accepted Papers and Acceptance Rate at the ACM Recommender Systems Conference until 2023
Update 13-11-2023: I added the numbers for 2023 The ACM Conference on Recommender Systems regularly releases numbers relating to its acceptance rate. We visualized the numbers as shown below and it’s good to see that the number of submitted papers slowly but steadily increases over time. From just above 100 papers in the first years […]

ACM RecSys released the list of 18 accepted workshops. That’s quite a number, and as high as in 2021. Looking at time, the number of workshops constantly increased from 3 workshops in 2009 to 10 in 2015 and, as mentioned, 18 workshops in 2021 and 2023. For a full list and details, visit the ACM […]
The Web Conference 2023 requires at least one full non-student registration for accepted papers, even for students.
The Web Conference 2023 (formerly WWW) is a notable conference in the field of recommender-systems. This year, the conference chairs decided that authors of accepted papers must register at least for one full on-site non-student 3-day ticket, starting at $900, even if the presenting, or all, author(s) are students. That is quite uncommon to my […]
