For Computer Science (CS) Master's students, the requirement to publish an Ei Compendex paper before graduation is often the biggest hurdle. With graduation deadlines looming, the ideal solution is a conference that offers Fast Publication and Virtual/Online Participation, eliminating the need for expensive travel and visa delays.
For 2026, we have curated a list of high-quality international conferences that explicitly support Hybrid or Virtual modes, ensuring you can present from your dorm and get indexed in time.
The 2nd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Digital Media Technology and Social Computing (ICAIDS 2026) is scheduled for very early 2026. This is perfect for students graduating in June 2026, as the proceedings are typically indexed in the first half of the year.

Check the Registration Form: Always verify the "Virtual Presenter" or "Online Listener" fee on the official registration form. It is usually cheaper (e.g., $300-$400).
Avoid "No-Shows": Even for online conferences, you must attend your Zoom slot or submit your video presentation. "No-shows" (paying but not attending) are often removed from the publisher's list, resulting in no indexing.
