Call to Host KR 2027 or KR 2028

Dear Colleagues,

The KR Steering Committee is seeking statements of interest from individuals or consortia interested in hosting the 24^th or the 25^th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2027 or KR 2028). We are accepting bids from all locations; however, especially for 2027, we particularly encourage bids from North America and South America. KR conferences usually take place between July and November.

For each of the two conferences, the process comprises two stages. During the first stage, KR Inc. solicits statements of interest through an open call. They should be submitted using the letter-of-interest form. Once the first phase is complete, KR Inc. will shortlist a number of applications, which will then be invited to submit a full proposal.

The important dates for applying to host the KR 2027 or KR 2028 Conference are:

• March 15, 2026: Deadline for receiving statements of interest
• April 15, 2026: Notifications to shortlisted bids are sent out
• May 15, 2026: Formal applications received from the shortlisted bids
• June 15, 2026: Selection decision announced

Parties wishing to host KR 2027 or KR 2028 should contact me (gabriele.kern-isberner@cs.tu-dortmund.de). You will need:

• The letter of interest template (first stage)
• The application form (second stage)
• The budget worksheet (second stage)

Here you can download the documents for KR 2027 and KR 2028.

Kind regards,
Gabriele Kern-Isberner
