The ECML-PKDD 2025 conference is just around the corner, taking place September 15 to 19 in beautiful Porto 🇵🇹. We look forward to participating with a larger group than ever before, to showcase our own work, gain inspiration and learn from others, and meet our peers from around the globe! 🌏

Looking forward to meet you there!

Tijl De Bie is chair of the ECML-PKDD Steering Committee. Besides, together with Siegfried Nijssen he created a new international non-profit association (the ECML-PKDD Association) underlying the ECML-PKDD conference, which will make organisation of future editions easier by mitigating some of the financial risk involves in the organisation.
Jefrey Lijffijt and Myra Spiliopoulou developed, with help of a few others, an online survey to poll satisfaction with the conference. The results about the 2024 edition will be presented at the community meeting and the survey will run yearly.
