IEEE ICME 2027 — International Conference on Multimedia and Expo

IEEE ICME 2027, the 28th IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, runs 13-17 July 2027 in Xiamen, China. ICME has been the flagship multimedia conference since its launch in 2000 and is unusual in being co-sponsored by four IEEE societies simultaneously — Circuits and Systems, Communications, Computer, and Signal Processing — so its remit spans multimedia signal processing, systems and applications rather than sitting inside one community. IEEE describes it as a forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in multimedia technologies, systems and applications from both research and development perspectives; in a field where machine learning now underpins compression, generation, retrieval and multimodal understanding, that scope is in practice an AI programme. The series draws roughly 1,000 submissions and about 500 participants each year. The 2027 call for papers and its submission deadlines had not been released as of September 2026.

• ✓PhD students and postdocs
• ✓Standards and IP engineers

Multimedia is where a large share of enterprise AI spend actually lands — video understanding, speech, generative media, and the compression and delivery economics underneath them — and ICME is the IEEE venue where that work is presented before it reaches products. For a CTO or VP of engineering in media, telecom, devices or retail, the value is a year-ahead read on what becomes feasible and cheap: learned codecs, multimodal retrieval, real-time generation on constrained hardware. Co-sponsorship by four IEEE societies also puts the standards people and the research people in the same building, which matters when a roadmap depends on both.

• ✓Peer-reviewed research track across multimedia technologies, systems and applications
• ✓Expo component pairing research results with development and industry perspectives
• ✓Programme co-sponsored and shaped by four IEEE societies (CAS, ComSoc, Computer Society, SPS)
• ✓28th edition of an annual series running continuously since 2000

• ★Co-sponsored by four IEEE societies at once — Circuits and Systems, Communications, Computer, and Signal Processing — which no other multimedia conference is
• ★The flagship multimedia venue since 2000; the 2027 edition is the 28th in the series
• ★Pairs a peer-reviewed research conference with an expo, so research results and development perspectives sit on the same programme
• ★A tightly sized meeting — roughly 1,000 submissions and about 500 participants — rather than a trade show
• ★Rotates globally (Nantes 2025, Bangkok 2026, Xiamen 2027), making 2027 the Asia-Pacific stop in the cycle
