The ICAIF '26 Tutorial Organizing Committee invites tutorial proposals from academia, government, regulatory agencies, financial institutions, NGOs, and other researchers and practitioners in the AI and Finance community. We particularly encourage proposals from women and individuals from underrepresented groups. Tutorial organizers are responsible for the full planning and execution of their events. Tutorial topics should focus on AI and Finance.
ICAIF tutorials offer participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of specific AI in Finance topics. Strong tutorials provide comprehensive insights into established practices and emerging methodologies. They focus on current trends, specialized techniques, and practical skills that help advance the field while bridging knowledge gaps and strengthening professional competence.
ICAIF tutorial schedules should facilitate hands-on learning, promote active participation, and encourage the exchange of ideas between experts and attendees, fostering a practical understanding of complex topics. Tutorials should not focus on commercial products. Preference will be given to tutorial proposals that cover more than one approach or solution.

ICAIF tutorial proposals should be at most 5 pages long, in 12-point font, and should include:
Describe the specific topic(s) the tutorial will focus on. Only the tutorials on AI in financial services will be considered.
A discussion of why the topic is important for AI in finance. If applicable, please include a discussion of prior tutorials in the area.
Include the names and contact information of the organizing committee members, along with brief biographies highlighting relevant experience and expertise in the tutorial topic. If applicable, please highlight prior tutorials organized by the team. Identify a primary contact (email/phone number) to coordinate with the ICAIF Organizing Committee.
Describe the tentative tutorial schedule and format, including any requirements (for example, prerequisite background or whether attendees should bring a laptop), the materials that will be made available to attendees such as code and data, the Q&A session, and any potential speakers.
Please discuss comparable or similar tutorials organized at prior ICAIF and/or AI conferences. Please specify whether the tutorial is a continuation of a series of events in other venues. This information will be used to assess the tutorial's novelty, context, and content relative to comparable events.
Submit your tutorial proposal via https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICAIF2026/ using the "Tutorials" option in the drop-down menu. Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file.
Submit Tutorial ProposalThe Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
ICAIF tutorials will be run by the organizing committees independently, in coordination with the ICAIF Organizing Committee.
ICAIF tutorial proposals will be evaluated by a committee of AI in Finance experts from industry, academia, and government. The program committee for proposals and accepted tutorials will be announced on the ICAIF website. The committee will seek to offer a diversity of topics, so multiple proposals on the same topic will likely not be accepted.
Tutorial organizers are expected to attend in person, and tutorial presentations must be delivered in person.
Tutorial dates and start and end times will be determined by the ICAIF organizing committee. However, tutorial organizers are responsible for the event program, including the detailed schedule of the tutorial itself. The tutorial program and other relevant information should be included on the tutorial website.
