As a premier IEEE conference, ICIEA is ranked in the Top 15% of the Best Conferences in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in 2023 (www.research.com). ICIEA is also ranked as a Class A Conference by the Chinese Association of Automation (CAA), as listed in CAA official website (http://www.caa.org.cn/article/290/3225.html).

The 21st IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA 2026) will be held on 02-06 August 2026, in Catania, Italy. The Conference is organized by the IEEE Industrial Electronics Chapter of Singapore, Catania University, and the IEEE Singapore Section. The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society is both the financial and technical sponsor of the event.

IEEE ICIEA provides an inclusive platform for scientists, researchers, and industrial practitioners from around the world to present the latest technological advancements and discuss future directions and trends in Industrial Electronics. The proceedings of past ICIEAs have all been included in the IEEE Xplore database and indexed by EI Compendex.

Prospective authors are invited to electronically submit full regular papers of their work using the link above. English is the working language of the conference. Regular and Special Session papers are limited to six (6) pages of A4 or letter format. An additional 2 pages can be included at extra fee. Authors must adhere to the IEEE Conference paper format.
