Computer Engineering conferences

SC26 connects researchers and practitioners developing high-performance computing, networking, storage and scientific data analysis. The programme includes research presentations, tutorials and workshops at McCormick Place in Chicago, 15–20 November 2026. Early rates run through 14 October. A digital participation option is available through the official registration page.

This meeting examines how brain-inspired hardware could reduce AI’s growing energy requirements. Researchers connect materials and memory devices with circuits, systems and applications, including sparse computation and compute-in-memory architectures that reduce data movement. Two discussion days address fundamental advances and challenges; the final day considers translation and wider impacts. Programme participants include Steve Furber, Judith Driscoll and Tony Kenyon. The meeting takes place at The Royal Society, 6–9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG, or online, on 23–25 November 2026. Times are GMT (Europe/London, UTC+0). Sessions run 09:00–17:00 on 23 and 24 November, with posters 17:00–18:00 on 23 November; the 25 November programme runs 09:30–15:15. Timings may change. Attendance is free for researchers in relevant fields, with advance Eventbrite registration required. Separate online and in-person tickets cover the discussion meeting and final-day event; attending every day is optional. Lunch costs an optional GBP 25 on each of the first two days and is free on the third. Poster proposals are due 23 October, subject to capacity.

The Neuro Inspired Computational Elements Conference (NICE) gathers research on neuromorphic computing and its connections to neuroscience and artificial intelligence. NICE 2027 holds its main conference on 6–8 April 2027 at the University of Sussex in Brighton, United Kingdom, followed by a tutorials day of mainly hands-on two-hour tutorials on 9 April. Topics span neuromorphic hardware, analog and beyond-CMOS devices and compute-in-memory architectures; NeuroAI, including theory of neural circuits and its experimental support, local learning and plasticity, and connectomics; neuroscience-inspired and hardware-aware algorithms, spiking neural networks and event-based artificial intelligence; applications in robotics, high-performance and edge computing, biosignal processing and brain-computer interfaces; event-driven and bio-inspired sensing; and software frameworks, benchmarks, simulators and theoretical models for neuromorphic engineering. Regular papers of 4–8 pages are reviewed by the programme committee for talks, lightning talks or posters, with proceedings indexed through IEEE Conference Proceedings. Paper submissions are due on 11 November 2026, tutorial suggestions on 2 December 2026 and late-breaking news submissions on 1 February 2027. Early-bird fees, until 17 January 2027, are £250 for students and £450 for regular participants (£300 and £550 afterwards), and the tutorials day costs £75 early or £100 later.

INCC connects the neuromorphic computing community across neuroscience, physics, materials research and artificial intelligence. The programme combines plenary and invited presentations, contributed research talks, workshops and a characterisation laboratory supported by Advanced Microtesting. Organised by NeuroSYNC and the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies, with NeuMat and NeuroWare as co-organisers, it brings academic and industrial researchers together to examine brain-inspired computing and build collaborations across the device-to-system ecosystem. Abstracts are due 31 October 2026, with acceptance notifications on 25 November.
