Sorry, I no longer have the time to keep this information up to date, so I'm afraid it will have to continue as a historical list of EC conferences for now. If anyone wants to take it over, let me know.

This is a list of evolutionary computation conferences, accepting papers on topics such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, and evolvable hardware, and related areas such as artificial life and artificial immune systems. I make no guarantees regarding the accuracy or completeness of this information. Be wary of fake conferences. Updates will now be tweeted at @EAconferences. Send me a message if you have additions or corrections.

Fake Conferences

Recently there has been a growing problem of for-profit conferences which do not follow standard (or in some cases, any) scientific peer review. Publishing at these conferences can be bad for both research and career progression. Hallmarks of these conferences include overly-general calls for papers and obscure programme committees. A related problem is the appearance of fake conference ratings web sites, which achieve a veneer of scrutability by listing well-known conferences alongside fake conferences. Reputable conference rankings can be found at Google Scholar, Microsoft Research Asia and CORE.
