Scheduled for November 5β9, 2025, in Suzhou, China, with an ARR submission deadline of May 19, 2025, we expect submissions to exceed the unprecedented 8,000+ from ACL 2025, potentially reaching beyond the 10,000 milestone.

- Abstracts Due: June 30, 2025

This advancement means waiting for EMNLP decisions before considering AAAI submissions is riskier than ever. Strategic planning is crucial:
Strategic Advice:
- If your EMNLP submission is uncertain, consider concurrently preparing your AAAI submission.
- After reviewing EMNLP OpenReview (OA) outcomes, promptly withdraw your paper from EMNLP if necessary, and strategically pivot your submission to AAAI or other suitable conferences.
Key Takeaways:
- Plan Ahead: Don't rely solely on EMNLP. Prepare for multiple submission paths.
- Monitor Deadlines: Stay vigilant of submission and review timelines to avoid last minute crises.
- Quality Over Quantity: Heightened competition demands that your research clearly stands out.
