The RE conference originally started as two alternating biennial conferences.[2]
- The first of these was the International Symposium on Requirements Engineering (RE), starting in 1993.
- The second was the International Conference on Requirements Engineering (ICRE), starting in 1994. In 2002, these two conference series merged under the name Joint International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'02).
Also starting in 2002, the conference venue began rotating between three general locations: Europe, North America, and a non-European, non-North American location. Since 2003, the conference series has been known as the International Requirements Engineering Conference.

Most Influential Paper Award
Beginning with the 11th RE in 2003, an award was given for the paper deemed to be the most influential paper published from the conference held 10 years earlier. The judging for this award is done by the program committee for the current conference. If more than one award is given, the papers receiving the awards are categorized.
