Join us at the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Smart City
Smart cities (also smarter cities) use digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Developing a smart city to better support growing urban population is a global and complex challenge and involves interdisciplinary fields. Key ‘smart’ sectors include transportation, smart building, energy, health care, and water systems.
IEEE SmartCity-2026 is aiming to be a premier international conference in smart city. This conference is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of smart city.
SmartCity-2026 will be held in Luoyang, China, a historic city renowned for its rich cultural heritage and as one of the ancient capitals of China. The city features world-famous landmarks such as the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple, offering an inspiring environment that blends tradition with modern innovation.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to SmartCity-2026. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore, subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. Authors of selected best papers will be invited to extend their work for special issues of prestigious journals planned in conjunction with the conference.
