Where is EMNLP 2026 held?
EMNLP 2026 will be held in Budapest, Hungary. EMNLP 2026 takes place October 24-29, 2026. Venue and travel details are published on the official EMNLP site as they are confirmed.
EMNLP 2026 is held in Budapest, Hungary on October 24-29, 2026, and its cycle has closed. EMNLP reviews through ACL Rolling Review, so there are two dates rather than one paper deadline: the ARR submission deadline for the May cycle was May 25, 2026, and the EMNLP commitment deadline — the date every author had to hit to appear at EMNLP 2026 at all — was August 2, 2026. A paper reviewed in an earlier ARR cycle could be committed by August 2 without ever meeting the May date, which is why the commitment deadline is the one tracked here. Notifications went out August 20 and camera-ready papers were due August 30, 2026. For EMNLP 2027, the joint ACL call for workshop proposals states it is tentatively scheduled for early November 2027 and will be held physically in Mexico or Central America, with conference dates still to be announced.
What is EMNLP?
EMNLP, the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, is one of the leading NLP venues alongside ACL and NAACL. It reviews through ACL Rolling Review, with commitment deadlines tied to ARR cycles.
