ICAPS 2027 - 37th International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling
by International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS)
The field's primary venue for automated planning and scheduling - the deliberative layer under AI agents
About This Event
ICAPS 2027 is the 37th International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling, held in Columbia, South Carolina from 27 June to 2 July 2027. ICAPS is the field's primary venue for automated planning, scheduling and sequential decision-making - the deliberative layer enterprises are now attaching to LLM-based agents so they can commit to multi-step plans instead of improvising each call. The week is structured as a summer school from 22-26 June, a doctoral consortium on 27 June, workshops and tutorials on 28-29 June, and the main technical conference from 30 June to 2 July. The conference series also runs planning and scheduling competitions and benchmarking, and funds scholarships for early-career scientists. The 2027 website went live in December 2025 with dates, committees and a code of conduct; the call for papers has not been posted yet.

Why Attend
Any team building agentic systems that must sequence actions, respect constraints and stay inside a budget eventually hits the wall that ICAPS research sits on the other side of - plan validity, temporal reasoning, scheduling under uncertainty and heuristic search. For a VP of engineering or head of AI, this is where to recruit the small pool of people who do this formally, benchmark in-house orchestration against the planning competitions, and decide whether classical planning, learned policies or a hybrid is the right architecture before committing an engineering year to one of them. The co-located summer school also makes the trip a genuine training investment for junior staff.
Event Features
- ✓Summer school on automated planning, 22-26 June 2027
- ✓Doctoral consortium, 27 June 2027
- ✓Workshops and tutorials, 28-29 June 2027
- ✓Main technical conference, 30 June - 2 July 2027

- ✓Scholarship support for early-career scientists
What Makes This Unique
- ★The dedicated venue for automated planning and scheduling, rather than a side track inside a general machine learning conference
- ★Ranked CCF B, CORE A* and Qualis A2 - the top tier within its subfield
- ★Runs a week-long summer school (22-26 June) immediately before the conference, so a team can send a junior engineer to train and a senior one to the technical programme on the same trip
- ★Dates and host city confirmed roughly 18 months ahead; the conference website has been live since December 2025
