Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC 2026), to be held October 4–7, 2026 in the vibrant city of Bellevue, WA, USA.
Under the theme “Human-Centric Intelligence: Shaping the Digital Future”, SMC 2026 will bring leading experts from academia, industry, and government to explore how cutting-edge advancements in systems science, human-machine interaction, and cybernetics can drive meaningful progress for humanity. The conference will serve as a vital forum to discuss the challenges and opportunities of designing intelligent systems that prioritize human well-being and societal benefit.
This year’s program, featuring keynote talks, panel discussions, technical sessions, poster presentations, and social networking opportunities, is designed to inspire, challenge, and connect. From cyber-physical-social systems and artificial intelligence to cognitive computing, robotics, autonomous systems, and cybersecurity, the conference will explore a broad spectrum of topics shaping the future of intelligent, human-centric systems.
Bellevue, a thriving hub of innovation nestled in the stunning Pacific Northwest, offers the perfect backdrop for discovery and collaboration. Whether you are exploring the city’s dynamic tech scene, enjoying its natural beauty, or engaging in informal discussions with peers, you will find countless opportunities to build meaningful connections and spark new ideas.
We warmly invite you to join us for an inspiring and intellectually enriching experience at SMC 2026. To maximize engagement and collaboration, we strongly encourage in-person participation, while providing an online presentation option for those unable to travel due to circumstances beyond their control (e.g., visa challenges). Together, we can advance our shared vision of a human-centric digital future and contribute to creating a better world for all.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bellevue for an unforgettable and impactful SMC 2026.
Sincerely,
