Call for Workshop Proposals
PAKDD 2025 will be held exclusively in person. All accepted presentations must be delivered on-site.
The 29th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD) will take place in Sydney, Australia, on June 10-13, 2025. The PAKDD 2025 organizing committee invites workshop proposals covering foundational and emerging topics in all KDD-related areas, including data science, data mining, data warehousing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, databases, statistics, knowledge engineering, visualization, decision-making systems, and emerging applications. The PAKDD workshops provide an informal and vibrant opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange their research perspectives, original research results, and practical development experiences on specific challenges and emerging issues. Each workshop should be focused on a cohesive theme so that participants can benefit from meaningful interactions with each other. Please note that PAKDD 2025 will be held entirely in-person, so we won't be able to accommodate workshops with virtual or hybrid elements.

Workshops are scheduled to be held at the beginning of the conference, June 10, 2025. The workshop papers will not be included in the conference proceedings but are available on the PAKDD2025 webpage. Springer Nature will collaborate to connect the workshops with journals or book series for the publication of workshop papers.
