For many Master's students and junior researchers, the goal is not necessarily a "Top-Tier" conference (like CVPR or ICRA), but rather a "Safe and Accessible" venue to meet graduation requirements. You need a conference with a friendly peer-review process, a reasonable acceptance rate (50-60%+), and guaranteed Ei Compendex indexing.
Here is our curated list of "Easy but Safe" options for 2026.
Why it's "Easy": Conferences published by SPIE (The International Society for Optics and Photonics) are famous for being "author-friendly." They focus on correctness rather than novelty. If your method works and the data is valid, it usually gets accepted.
ICGIP 2026 (Graphics & Image Processing)
Difficulty: ⭐⭐ (Low/Medium)
Publisher: SPIE (Extremely stable Ei Indexing).
Best For: Students doing Computer Vision, Remote Sensing, or Medical Imaging.
Why Submit: It has been indexed for 10+ years running. It is the ultimate "safety net."
Official Website:
ICMVA 2026 (Machine Vision)
Difficulty: ⭐⭐
Publisher: SPIE.
Best For: Applied machine vision (e.g., "detecting defects on a factory line").
Official Website:
Why it's "Easy": These conferences cover a massive range of topics (from Big Data to 5G to Software Engineering). Broad-scope conferences often have larger capacities and are less "picky" about the specific sub-niche.
ICCCS 2026 (Computer & Communication Systems)
Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐ (Medium)
Publisher: IEEE (Usually IEEE Xplore).
Best For: General CS, Network Security, Communication Engineering.
Why Submit: It’s a large conference. While the review is decent, the sheer volume of accepted papers makes it accessible.
Official Website:
ICCBD 2026 (Cloud Computing & Big Data)
Difficulty: ⭐⭐
Publisher: IEEE or ACM (Check specific year).
Best For: Data mining projects, cloud architecture, enterprise software.
Official Website:
Why it's "Easy": As mentioned in previous guides, conferences held in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam) often encourage international participation and have slightly more lenient English language requirements compared to US/EU events.
ICIC 2026 (Informatics and Computing)
Host: IEEE Indonesia Section.
Difficulty: ⭐⭐
Best For: Students in Asia needing a quick IEEE Xplore entry.
Website:
ECTI-CON 2026
Host: IEEE Thailand Section.
Difficulty: ⭐⭐
Best For: Electrical Engineering and Electronics.
Website:
While you want "Easy," you do not want "Predatory" (Fake). If a conference is predatory, you will pay the money, but the paper will never be indexed.
The "Red Flag" Checklist:
Guaranteed Acceptance: If the website says "Acceptance Notification in 3 Days," run away. Real peer review takes at least 2-4 weeks.
Gmail Contact: Official conferences use university (@edu) or organization (@org) emails, not @gmail.com or @163.com.
"Everything" Topics: A conference titled "International Conference on Business, Medicine, Engineering, and Art" is almost certainly fake.
