The 2026 IEEE International PHM Conference is the world's premiere forum for PHM and the only PHM conference financially sponsored by the IEEE. PHM is a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary field that requires an energized exchange of ideas. This conference will bring together world-class expertise in academia, engineering, and management disciplines to foster synergistic exchanges among academics and industry practitioners. Special attention is paid to ensuring a professional, sociable environment that encourages networking, forging new relationships, and deepening existing ones.

This year, ICPHM will highlight system reliability, asset lifespan, and advanced techniques across sectors, with a special emphasis on Al-driven PHM algorithms, validation strategies, and evaluation frameworks to ensure reliability, resilience, and trustworthiness across diverse applications.
