EARL 2026 is the 3rd Workshop on Evaluating and Applying Recommender Systems with Large Language Models. Co-located with the 35th International ACM Conference on Knowledge and Information Management (CIKM 2026), the workshop brings together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of large language models (LLMs) and recommender systems (RSs).

The workshop will be held in person in Rome, Italy. We will focus on the evaluation, reproducibility, practical deployment, and responsible integration of LLM-driven recommender systems, while welcoming exploratory work and critical discussion.
