*** Apologies if you have received this post more than once *** The Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA [1]) is seeking statements of interest from organizations or consortia interested in hosting the 25th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC 2027. The conference series usually moves regularly between the Americas, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific region. For the 2027 edition, we will accept bids from all locations, but we will give preference to bids from the Americas. We expect the conference to take place in October/November 2027.
Organizations wishing to host it should contact Prof Elena Simperl (elena.simp...@kcl.ac.uk<mailto:elena.simp...@kcl.ac.uk>) who will work with the SWSA members to coordinate the bidding process. Any organization may apply to host the conference, but the local organizing committee must include a representative of a local research group with a track record in semantic technologies. The bidding process consists of two stages. During the first stage, SWSA solicits the statements of interest through an open call. The expressions of interest should be submitted using the statement of interest form [2]. Once the first phase is complete, SWSA will shortlist a number of applications, which will be invited to submit a full proposal, using a standard form [3] and budget template [4]. The shortlisted applications will be expected to make a presentation (remotely) during the annual SWSA meeting, which is due to be held around the same time as ISWC2025 in November 2025. SWSA will make the decision on the 2027 host at that meeting. More information about the ISWC Conference Series and the bidding process can be found in the ISWC Hosting Guide [5]. The important dates for applying to host ISWC2027 are: * September 1st, 2025: Deadline for receiving statements of interest. * September 15th, 2025: Notifications to shortlisted bids are sent out. * October 6th, 2025: Formal applications received from shortlisted bids. * November 2025: Presentation of the bid at the (virtual) SWSA meeting. SWSA decides on the location for the 2027 conference.
