SAI Conferences

What SAI Conferences does

SAI Conferences, operated by The Science and Information (SAI) Organization, is a UK-based private entity that organizes a portfolio of four peer-reviewed academic conferences: Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys), Future Technologies Conference (FTC), Computer Vision Conference (CVC), and Computing Conference. The company targets academic researchers, industry practitioners, and graduate students seeking to publish and present research in AI, computing, machine vision, cybersecurity, data science, and emerging technologies. It has operated for 10+ years and reports 6,000+ total attendees, 1,500+ research presentations, and representation from 55+ countries.

The business model is built on a paper submission-driven pipeline. Researchers submit manuscripts through the company website, which are processed through Microsoft Conference Management Toolkit (CMT) for double-blind peer review by 362+ committee members, yielding a selective 37-39% acceptance rate. Accepted papers are published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series, indexed in Web of Science and SCOPUS. Revenue is generated through conference registration fees (GBP 600 for virtual, GBP 750 for onsite), with hybrid participation options enabling global accessibility. Payment processing is handled through Razorpay under PCI-DSS compliance.

The company holds no parent organization, has no disclosed funding rounds, and maintains a small operational footprint headquartered in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer through the saiconference.com platform, with marketing supported by content archives, academic database indexing, press coverage, and committee network referrals. Conferences are held annually in major European cities (London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich), with virtual participation expanding reach to global markets.

Direct peers

• IARIA (International Academy, Research, and Industry Association): Operates a portfolio of smaller peer-reviewed academic conferences in computing and AI with similar event-driven, paper-submission business model. Closest direct competitor in scale and operating approach.
• Hindawi: Academic publisher operating peer-reviewed conferences across scientific disciplines including computing. Comparable in business model, scale, and indexed proceedings approach, though brand reputation has weakened post-2023 retraction events.
• Frontiers: Open-access publisher running peer-reviewed conferences and journals in scientific research, with similar indexed proceedings and researcher-focused revenue model. Competes for the same mid-tier academic author pool.
• MDPI: Open-access academic publisher that runs peer-reviewed conferences in computing and AI, offering similar indexed proceedings and registration-based revenue. Closely comparable in scale and target author segment.

Regional players

• IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology): UK-based professional engineering body organizing academic conferences and publishing indexed proceedings. Comparable in geography and academic conference operating model.
• BCS (British Computer Society): UK-based chartered professional body for computing that runs academic conferences and events. Geographic overlap with SAI's UK base and overlapping computing research community.

Broad incumbents

• Elsevier: Major academic publisher running conferences and indexed proceedings across scientific domains. Competes with SAI for both authors and indexing slots in Scopus, which Elsevier owns.
• IEEE Computer Society: Operates flagship academic computing conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ICDE, etc.) with deep institutional backing. SAI competes for the same academic author pool but lacks IEEE's century-old brand and society membership network.
• Association for Computing Machinery (ACM): Runs top-tier peer-reviewed computing conferences (SIGCOMM, NeurIPS, KDD) with exclusive proceedings indexing via the ACM Digital Library. Direct competitor for high-quality submissions in AI and computing.

Others

• Springer Nature: Current publishing partner via LNNS series; also organizes its own academic conferences and competes indirectly for Springer-affiliated authors. Relationship is symbiotic but also creates conflict risk.
