IPMI 2027 uses OpenReview for submissions, reviews, and notifications:
Share your "Algorithms with a Soul": Breakthroughs and rigorous analysis, not leaderboard chasing.
Papers have 12 pages, excluding references, in Springer LNCS format, with no supplementary material allowed. Strict adherence avoids desk rejection. Submissions must be original unpublished work, not under review elsewhere during the IPMI review period, and will undergo a double-blind review. Authors must attend the conference in person to engage in discussions. Each accepted paper must be accompanied by a separate registration. One registration cannot cover multiple papers. Onsite language assistance will be available for those in need.
Use the Springer LNCS template for formatting your paper. LaTeX is preferred.
The review process is double-blind. Reviewers will not know your names, nor will you know the reviewers' names. Paper content must be anonymized. Remove your names and affiliations in the submitted pdf. Check your acknowledgments, data description, and any other places that may reveal your identity. Be mindful if referring to your own work. Failure to do so will result in desk rejection. Further information in the MICCAI guide for anonymization.
Submissions must be original unpublished work, not under review, nor accepted elsewhere during the IPMI review period. Your submitted version may be posted during peer review on arXiv. Reviewers are instructed to not actively search for the authors' identities.
The use of LLMs is allowed for minor editions, such as general-purpose writing and grammar assistance at the sentence level. Using LLMs to generate large sections of text at the paragraph level, or more, is not allowed. Papers that are mainly generated by LLMs will be rejected. Authors carry full responsibility for the contents of their papers, including any content generated by LLMs. LLMs are not eligible for authorship. See our Scientific Code of Ethics.
At IPMI 2027, we (authors, speakers, reviewers, organizers and attendees) meet to exchange ideas freely. We learn, dine, and socialize together. This code thus applies at all times, including sessions, meals, accommodation, social activities, shared travel and online channels.
By registering, you agree to it.

If you experience or witness a problem, or just need someone to talk to, contact the organizers at any time:
If you prefer not to approach them, or one is involved, report to the IPMI Board: https://editions.ipmi-conf.org/
Reports are handled promptly and as confidentially as possible, including after the event. Nobody will face retaliation for reporting in good faith. If you feel uncomfortable in your shared room, ask any organizer, no reason needed.
Depending on severity of misconduct, organizers may:
Participants also remain bound by the ethics rules of their own institutions and funders.

June 27 – July 02, 2027 • Lake Stukely, Orford, Quebec, Canada
Venue: Jouvence Center, Quebec, Canada
Expected number of participants: 120
IPMI 2027 will be hosted at the beautiful Jouvence Conference Centre on Lake Stukely, Quebec, Canada, a secluded natural setting that reflects the unique spirit of the International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging (IPMI). For nearly six decades, IPMI has served as one of the premier forums for methodological advances in medical imaging, bringing together leading researchers working at the intersection of medical image analysis, machine learning, computer vision, mathematics, physics, and biomedical engineering. IPMI is recognized for its strong emphasis on fundamental and theoretical contributions that shape the future of medical imaging science. The core mission of IPMI 2027 is to foster deep scientific exchange and rigorous discussion around the next generation of imaging methodologies. Unlike larger convention-style conferences, IPMI is intentionally designed as an immersive retreat where attendees live, dine, and interact together. Its hallmark format encourages unlimited questions, extended discussions, and active debate following every presentation, creating an environment where ideas are challenged, refined, and advanced through direct engagement among participants. The conference relaxed and secluded setting helps break down barriers between disciplines and career stages, allowing collaborations/innovations to emerge naturally.
IPMI attracts a highly international audience of researchers from academia, industry, and healthcare institutions. The conference is widely regarded as one of the most selective and influential meetings in medical image computing, with participation from many of the world's leading research groups. Accepted papers are traditionally centered on novel algorithms, mathematical foundations, image reconstruction, machine learning, segmentation, registration, computational modeling, and other fundamental advances in biomedical imaging.
IPMI 2027 offers sponsors direct access to 120 high-impact attendees, spanning principal investigators and research leaders (~40%), industry scientists and clinical research innovators (~20%), and emerging scientific talent (~40%), at a cross-section driving today's discoveries and tomorrow's decisions.
IPMI's small size is one of its greatest strengths. Every attendee participates directly in the scientific dialogue, creating a uniquely collegial atmosphere where discussions continue from the lecture hall to meals, outdoor activities, and informal gatherings. Many of the field's most influential ideas and collaborations have emerged from this environment of sustained and open scientific exchange.
All prices are in Canadian dollars. Package availability and benefit delivery should be confirmed with the organizing committee before payment.
