VMCAI provides a forum for researchers from the communities of Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, facilitating interaction, cross-fertilization, and advancement of hybrid methods that combine these and related areas. VMCAI 2026 will be the 27th edition in the series. VMCAI 2026 will take place during January 12-13, 2026 as a physical (in-person) event in Rennes, France, co-located with POPL 2026. For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference and present the paper in person.
