The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) is a peer-reviewed technical conference in the area of evolutionary computation, broadly interpreted. GECCO conferences have been held every year since 1999, when the first one was established as a recombination of the International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP). Since 2005 it has been organised by the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation. In 2023 it obtained a CORE rank A in that conference ranking system, making it one of the most highly ranked in the field of evolutionary computation.
