Program creation is the process of allocating presentation slots for each paper accepted to a conference with parallel sessions. This process, generally done manually, involves intricate decision-making to align with multiple constraints and optimize goals. The total time for all presentations in a session cannot be longer than the length of the session, the total number of sessions has to be equal to the number of sessions provided by the Program Committee chairs, and if there are parallel tracks, no two papers with common authors can be scheduled in parallel at the same time. We propose a Conference Program Scheduler using Genetic Algorithms to automate the conference schedule creation process while addressing these constraints and maximizing session theme coherence. Our evaluation focuses on the algorithm's ability to meet the outlined constraints and its success in creating thematically coherent and time-efficient sessions.
