AdKDD 2026
Premier workshop on Artificial Intelligence for advertising, in conjunction with
ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, KDD 2026

The field of computational advertising is at a dynamic and urgent crossroads, presenting complex research challenges that move far beyond mature, rule-based approaches. With the industry undergoing rapid transformation due to the shift toward privacy-preserving techniques (like federated learning and zero-knowledge proofs) and the exponential integration of Generative AI, the future of computational advertising is at a critical juncture. The AdKDD 2026 workshop is the premier forum to address these timely issues, specifically seeking papers that span the spectrum of deep user understanding while remaining privacy-preserving, fairness in advertising, the effectiveness of hyper-personalization, and the development of more effective business models such as incrementality. With a strong history as a top venue for advertising research since 2007, often drawing standing-room-only attendance and featuring diverse keynote speakers from both industry and academia, AdKDD provides a unique and highly-engaged platform to present your cutting-edge work on the ML, economic, and societal aspects of this fast-evolving ecosystem
