2026 IEEE International Conference on Agentic AI (ICA)

The IEEE International Conference on Agentic AI (IEEE ICA) is a premier academic forum that brings together researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners worldwide to advance the theories, methodologies, and applications of intelligent and autonomous agents. Since its inaugural edition in Matsue, Japan (2016), IEEE ICA has established itself as the flagship IEEE venue for agent-based AI research, with previous editions held in Beijing (2017), Singapore (2018), Jinan (2019), Kyoto (2021, 2023), Adelaide (2022), Wollongong (2024), and Wuhan (2025).

IEEE ICA 2026 marks a landmark milestone in the conference series and reflects a deliberate evolution of its scope. As AI systems increasingly operate with greater autonomy, real-world agency, and systemic impact, this edition places Agentic AI at the center of its scientific agenda. Agentic AI refers to AI systems and architectures that can represent knowledge, reason, plan, act, learn, and adapt within complex, dynamic, and open-ended environments. Such systems include LLM-based agents, autonomous workflows, multiagent ecosystems, and human-AI collaborative systems. IEEE ICA 2026 invites the research community to contribute to and shape this emerging paradigm.

IEEE ICA 2026 solicits original, unpublished contributions on all aspects of agentic AI and multiagent systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
