AIED 2025 Interactive Events Track – Call for Contributions
OBJECTIVES
The Interactive Events (IE) Track aims to provide a dynamic platform during the AIED2025 conference for showcasing innovations at the crossroads of education, interactive systems, and AI. It welcomes researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals from the AIED community and beyond to present interactive systems and demos that address diverse educational challenges, fostering collaboration and advancing the field.
Authors with accepted papers or posters to the main conference or other AIED tracks are especially encouraged to contribute, as this track offers an additional platform to showcase their systems (an accepted contribution in the IE Track does not count towards the one-author-registration-per-paper requirement for the main conference). In particular, demo presentations during the IE Track are particularly well-suited for participants with contributions accepted to the Practitioner, Industry, and Policy (PIP) Track of AIED2025, as well as for other industry contributors and practitioners looking to showcase AIED tools they promote or use in their daily practice.
TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS
Proposed contributions to the IE Track may include interactive systems operating across various platforms, such as standalone applications, web-based tools, mobile devices, and more. Below is a non-exhaustive list of possible contributions:
- virtual/augmented reality environments for learning
- adaptive educational systems
- serious/educational games
- intelligent tutoring systems
- agent-based learning environments
- data-driven and/or analytic-based systems for education
- LLM-based educational technologies
- authoring tools for AIED systems

REGISTRATION INFORMATION
IE Track contributions are separate from the main track of AIED 2025. As a result, an accepted contribution in the IE Track does not count towards the one-author-registration-per-paper requirement for the main conference. However, each IE Track accepted contribution must have at least one registered author by the early registration deadline. Additionally, a maximum of two demos per registered author is allowed to prevent unattended booths during the event. Finally, authors are expected to be present on-site to interact with the audience during the IE Track sessions.
