The International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM), organized by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), until 2014 the International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM), is a forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to come together to share knowledge, discuss ideas, exchange information, and learn about cutting-edge research in diverse fields with the common theme of online social media.

The ICWSM grew out of two events: the annual series of Workshops on the Weblogging Ecosystem (WWE 2006, WWE 2005, WWE 2004) held in conjunction with the International World Wide Web Conference and the Spring Symposium organized by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) on Computational Approaches to Analyzing Weblogs (CAAW 2006).

ICWSM Data Challenge Workshops in 2010, 2011, and since 2020.
