2026 8th International Electronics Communication Conference

2026 8th International Electronics Communication Conference (IECC 2026) will be held from December 11-13, 2026, in Wuhan, China. The conference is sponsored by South-Central Minzu University, and organized by College of Electronics and Information Engineering (School of Robotics). IECC will not only focus on breakthroughs and challenges in key areas such as communication architecture, signal processing, network optimization, and converged applications but also strive to provide a bridge for scholars from academia, industry, and research institutions worldwide—especially early-career researchers—to showcase achievements, inspire thinking, and foster collaboration, thereby jointly shaping the future of next-generation communication technologies. Researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world are warmly invited to submit their contributions.
