ACM ICMR 2026: International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval
📅 Tuesday, 16 June 2026 → Friday, 19 June 2026
ACM ICMR 2026 — the 16th International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval, Amsterdam, 16–19 June.
ACM ICMR 2026, the 16th International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval, runs 16–19 June 2026 at the historic Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in Amsterdam, with hybrid participation. It is the premier scientific conference for multimedia retrieval worldwide.
What you gain
The programme covers cutting-edge research in image, video, audio and multimodal content analysis, search, recommendation and generation, plus workshops, panels and the co-located ACM SIGMM European Chapter Symposium and the MediaEval benchmark. Organising institutions include the University of Amsterdam, University of Queensland, ISTI-CNR, Renmin University and Singapore Management University.
Where it fits
Multimodal models have made this field suddenly central: the retrieval, grounding and cross-modal evaluation problems ICMR has worked on for years are exactly what today's vision-language and video-generation systems depend on. For researchers and applied teams in multimedia AI, it's the field's flagship gathering.
