The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN) is 
the annual flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society 
(ENNS). In 2023 the School of Engineering of Democritus University of 
Thrace, Greece, will organize ICANN 2023. This will be held at Astoria 
Capsis Hotel at Heraklion city, Crete, Greece from 26th to 29th of 
September 2023.

The conference will be organized as a HYBRID event.
