The 19th ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM) serves as an international forum for presenting and discussing research in search and data mining on the Web and the Social Web, with an emphasis on practical yet principled novel models of search and data mining, algorithm design and analysis, economic implications, and in-depth experimental analysis of accuracy and performance. The conference aims to address challenging issues in the development of future web and information systems and to guide forthcoming research directions by reviewing high-quality applied and theoretical research outcomes. A significant aspect of the conference is its Workshops program, which targets current research challenges and endeavors. WSDM has a rich history of workshops dedicated to emerging domains of artificial intelligence, database management, information retrieval, data mining, and related fields. Since 2022, WSDM has also hosted an industry day where industrial research advancements are shared with the community.

Being a prestigious ACM conference, WSDM draws in leading researchers and influencers from academia and industry.

WSDM presents a distinctive opportunity to engage with scientists who are shaping the next generation of techniques and to gain insights into both the current state-of-the-art and future research trajectories. Moreover, WSDM offers the chance to network with and recruit top Ph.D. students, making it an ideal platform to enhance your organization’s visibility among globally influential thought leaders. Sponsors stand to gain extensive exposure to this community through conference promotion, activities during the event, and the possibility of synergies with other industry partners.
