ICDE 2027 — 43rd IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering
by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Data Engineering
IEEE's top-tier data engineering venue, with LLMs and vector data in the core track
About This Event
ICDE 2027, the 43rd IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering, runs 17-21 May 2027 in Copenhagen, Denmark. ICDE is IEEE's top-tier data-management venue, focused on designing, building, managing and evaluating advanced data-intensive systems and applications, and its 2027 call for research papers puts AI squarely in the core track: named topic areas include "AI and machine learning for data systems and vice versa", "foundation models and LLMs for data engineering and vice versa", vector data, graph data, multi-modal and heterogeneous data, data preparation, cleaning and integration, responsible and ethical data management, and explainability, fairness, bias, trust, authentication and regulatory compliance. The research track runs in two rounds — the first closed 11 June 2026 with notifications on 10 September 2026, the second closes 11 November 2026 with notifications on 10 February 2027 — while the industry and applications, demonstrations, workshop, TKDE poster, PhD symposium and Data Engineering Future Technologies tracks are still to publish their schedules.

Why Attend
ICDE is the venue to attend when your hard problem is the plumbing under an AI system rather than the model on top of it. Its 2027 call names foundation models and LLMs for data engineering, vector data and responsible data management as first-class topics, so a data or platform leader gets peer-reviewed answers on retrieval-augmented architectures, vector index trade-offs and compliance-by-construction pipelines — questions vendors currently answer with a demo. Copenhagen in May 2027 is a practical European base for meeting the research groups and cloud engineering teams working on exactly those problems, and the two-round deadline structure means the accepted programme is largely known before you book travel.
Event Features
- ✓Research track round 1: submissions closed 11 June 2026, rebuttal 8-15 August 2026, notification 10 September 2026, camera-ready 10 October 2026

- ✓Industry and Applications track (schedule still to be announced)
- ✓Demonstrations track (schedule still to be announced)
- ✓Workshop programme (proposal schedule still to be announced)
- ✓TKDE Poster track, PhD Symposium and a Data Engineering Future Technologies track
- ✓Research topic areas spanning AI/ML for data systems, foundation models and LLMs for data engineering, vector data, graph data, multi-modal data, data cleaning and integration, OLAP and analytics, and responsible and ethical data management
What Makes This Unique
- ★IEEE's flagship data-engineering conference and one of the three top-tier data-management venues with SIGMOD and VLDB — ranked CCF A, CORE A* and QUALIS A1.
- ★The 2027 call for papers names foundation models and LLMs for data engineering, and vector data, as explicit research areas, so the AI work is in the core track rather than a satellite workshop.
- ★Two-round research track with an author-rebuttal period in each round, making the review process interactive rather than one-shot.
- ★European edition in Copenhagen, which keeps a top-tier data venue reachable for EU teams working under GDPR and EU AI Act data-governance constraints.
