Which Top Conferences Can You Still Transfer Your Paper to After NeurIPS and AAAI Results?
After the NeurIPS 2026 acceptance list and AAAI 2027 first‑stage rejection are announced on September 24, this guide maps out which major AI conferences—ICLR, WWW, CVPR, ACL, ICML, KDD and others—remain viable for resubmission, with timing, deadline nuances, and key precautions.
Key dates
NeurIPS 2026 final acceptance results are announced on 2026‑09‑24 (AoE). AAAI 2027 first‑stage rejection results are announced the same day. ICLR 2027 submission deadline is 2026‑09‑25 (full paper) with abstract registration deadline 2026‑09‑18.
Transfer routes
🟢 Sufficient time
NeurIPS 2026 not accepted → ICLR 2027 (abstract by 2026‑09‑18, full paper by 2026‑09‑25)
NeurIPS 2026 not accepted → WWW 2027 (abstract deadline 17 days after 2026‑09‑24, full paper deadline 24 days after)
AAAI 2027 first‑stage rejection → WWW 2027 (same deadlines as above)
🟡 Tight but possible
AAAI 2027 first‑stage rejection → CVPR 2027 (author feedback opens 2026‑10‑19; withdrawal and resubmission must occur before CVPR’s usual November deadline, leaving only a few days)
AAAI 2027 first‑stage rejection → ACL 2027
AAAI 2027 first‑stage rejection → ICML 2027
🔴 Likely too late
ICLR 2027 not accepted → CVPR 2027 (CVPR 2026 deadline already passed on 2025‑12‑16)
Important notes
ICLR abstract registration – a real, non‑placeholder abstract must be submitted by 2026‑09‑18. After the abstract deadline authors cannot be added or removed, but the full paper may be uploaded up to 2026‑09‑25.
No dual‑submission – transfer assumes the original submission was rejected or withdrawn. If the original conference is still under review, follow its dual‑submission policy.
Uncertain dates – dates marked “estimated” or “to be confirmed” (e.g., CVPR 2027, ICML 2027, ACL ARR, KDD 2027 second round) should be monitored on the official conference websites.
