UbiComp/ISWC 2026 Call for Participation

UbiComp/ISWC is a premier interdisciplinary venue in which leading international researchers, designers, developers, and practitioners in the field present and discuss novel results in all aspects of ubiquitous, pervasive and wearable computing. This includes the design, development, and deployment of ubiquitous, pervasive and wearable computing technologies and the understanding of human experiences and social impacts that these technologies facilitate.

The conference will be held during October, 2026 at the Shanghai International Convention Center (SICC), China. SICC is located in the heart of Lujiazui, Shanghai’s Financial and Trade Zone in Pudong District, and offers 110,000 square meters of modern conference space with panoramic views of the iconic Bund skyline. As one of China’s most distinguished venues, SICC has hosted major global events, including the 1999 Fortune Global Forum, 2001 APEC Ministerial Meetings, 2016 G20 Finance Ministers’ Conference, and 2025 Shanghai Forum. Its central location, world-class facilities, and rich history of international engagement make it an exceptional site for bringing together the global UbiComp/ISWC community.
