Every event on AgentConfs is checked against its official website, and each event page links the source for its dates, location and deadlines. This page counts events whose start date is in 2027 and whose dates are confirmed on the official page; events marked “dates to be confirmed” are reported separately and left out of the tables. Ended events never appear. Research conferences are academic venues with peer review; everything else counts as industry or community. The numbers are recomputed on every site update, so they will change as new 2027 events are announced. Missing an event? Add it for free.
