ISMIR 2027 — International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference

ISMIR 2027 is the annual conference of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval, held in London, UK, from September 12 to 16, 2027. It is the leading research venue for music AI, covering generative music and audio synthesis, source separation, transcription, representation learning and music recommendation. The society began informally in 2000 and was incorporated as a non-profit in 2008; its conference brings together researchers, developers, educators, librarians and industry practitioners from computer science, signal processing, musicology and cognitive science. A typical edition combines double-blind peer-reviewed papers (each reviewed by at least three reviewers plus a meta-reviewer), tutorials, keynotes, late-breaking demos and the MIREX algorithm-evaluation campaign. The 2027 edition moves from Abu Dhabi to London.

• ✓Audio and music ML researchers
• ✓Streaming and music-recommendation engineering leads
• ✓Generative audio product managers
• ✓Data scientists working with audio and media
• ✓Media and entertainment technology executives
• ✓Academic faculty and PhD students in MIR

Streaming services, labels, media companies and creative-tools vendors weighing generative audio or recommendation investments can see the state of the art before it ships: music generation, stem separation, audio embeddings for search and recommendation, and the ethics and rights questions around training data. Leaders get a grounded read on which capabilities are production-ready, benchmark evidence from MIREX, and direct access to the specialist researchers and PhD graduates who build these systems — a practical place to recruit and to make build-versus-buy calls on audio AI.

• ✓Research area: Music and audio synthesis, transformations and interactions
• ✓Research area: Human-AI co-creativity
• ✓Research area: Sound source separation and music transcription
• ✓Research area: Music recommendation and user-centred design
• ✓Tutorials and late-breaking demos
• ✓MIREX evaluation campaign

• ★The dedicated peer-reviewed venue for music AI — generation, separation, transcription and recommendation — which general ML conferences only touch on
• ★Paired with MIREX, the long-running standardised benchmark campaign for music information retrieval algorithms
• ★Genuinely multidisciplinary: computer scientists, musicologists, librarians and industry engineers, with late-breaking demos alongside peer-reviewed papers
