ICSE 2027 — 49th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering

ICSE 2027, the 49th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering, runs 25 April - 1 May 2027 at The Convention Centre Dublin, with core conference days Wednesday 28 to Friday 30 April. ICSE is software engineering's flagship venue, and its 2027 programme is unusually relevant to AI leaders because of what it co-hosts: CAIN (AI engineering) and FORGE (foundation models for software engineering) run alongside AST, CHASE, FormaliSE, ICPC, MSR, SEAMS and TechDebt in the same week and the same building. The main event carries fifteen-plus tracks including Research, Software Engineering in Practice (SEIP), Software Engineering in Society (SEIS), Software Engineering Education and Training (SEET), New Ideas and Emerging Results, Tool Demonstrations and Data Showcase, Artifact Evaluation, Competitions, an Industry Challenge, a Doctoral Symposium and a full workshop and tutorial programme.

• ✓VPs of engineering and heads of developer productivity
• ✓Platform and DevEx leads evaluating AI coding tools
• ✓Software architects and quality engineering leaders
• ✓AI engineering and MLOps practitioners
• ✓Engineering managers responsible for technical debt programmes
• ✓Software engineering researchers and PhD students

Every engineering organisation is now spending real money on AI coding assistants with little independent evidence on what they do to defect rates, review load or maintainability. ICSE 2027 is the one week where that evidence is presented — CAIN and FORGE run inside the same event — next to the testing, program-analysis and technical-debt research that tells you what the generated code costs later. For a VP of engineering the SEIP track and Industry Challenge are directly actionable, the Artifact Evaluation track means the tools demonstrated actually run, and Dublin keeps it inside a European travel budget.

• ✓Research Track and Software Engineering in Practice (SEIP) track
• ✓Co-hosted CAIN 2027 (AI engineering) and FORGE 2027 (foundation models for SE)
• ✓Co-hosted MSR, ICPC, AST, CHASE, FormaliSE, SEAMS and TechDebt 2027
• ✓Artifact Evaluation and Tool Demonstration / Data Showcase tracks
• ✓New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) and Journal-first tracks
• ✓ICSE Competitions and Industry Challenge
• ✓Doctoral Symposium, New Faculty Symposium, Student Mentoring Workshop and Student Research Competition

• ★Co-hosts CAIN (AI engineering) and FORGE (foundation models for software engineering) — the two venues where AI-assisted development is evaluated empirically rather than demoed
• ★Nine co-hosted conferences in one week (AST, CAIN, CHASE, FORGE, FormaliSE, ICPC, MSR, SEAMS, TechDebt), so one trip covers testing, AI engineering, repositories, adaptation and debt
• ★A dedicated Software Engineering in Practice (SEIP) track written by and for industry, separate from the academic Research track
• ★An Artifact Evaluation track, so tools and datasets presented have been independently checked to run
• ★The 49th edition and software engineering's undisputed flagship — the year before its 50th, which moves to Hawaii in 2028
