In addition to the main conference, a pre-conference will be taking place on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October. On 22 October there will also be an Industry Day with a focus on application development and implementation. Attendance will be offered to Gold sponsors only.

The International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM), founded in 1992, is a key calendar event each year for the academic, business and government communities engaged in research on information retrieval, data science, and knowledge management.

The 2023 Conference will be the first CIKM conference in Europe since 2018 but will attract presenters and delegates from around the world.

From a research perspective CIKM 2023 will be the first global conference to be held since the launch of LLM-centric AIGC applications and will provide a forum for the consideration of the opportunities and challenges of these applications.

CIKM 2023 will therefore be an opportunity for sponsors to:

Discuss opportunities for working with the research community on joint projects
Identify potential employees with skills in AI application development
Ensure they are aware of emerging opportunities in information and knowledge management
Validate business plans against trends in technology and implementation
Raise the profile of their commitment to research and good practice
