Planning for 2026 conferences now is a strategic move, as many submission deadlines fall between late 2025 and early 2026.

Below is a curated list of upcoming 2026 engineering conferences confirmed or highly likely to be indexed by EI Compendex and Scopus. They are categorized into "Flagship Society Events" (high prestige, organized by major bodies like IEEE, ASME, ASCE) and "Specialized International Conferences" (focused topics, generally accessible).

1. Top-Tier Flagship Society Conferences (High Prestige)

These are the "must-attend" events for career advancement. They are organized by global professional societies, ensuring rigorous peer review and reliable indexing.

3. Important Tips for Verification

Before submitting, always perform these checks to avoid "predatory" conferences:

1. Check Previous Years: Look up the conference's 2024 or 2025 proceedings in the EI Compendex or Scopus database. If the previous years are indexed, the 2026 edition is highly likely to be as well.
2. Verify the Organizer: Flagship events are organized by societies like IEEE, ACM, ASME, ASCE, or AIChE. Specialized events should ideally be sponsored by a university or a recognized technical institute.
3. Official Website: Ensure you are on the official domain (e.g., ending in .org or hosted on a university/society subdomain). Avoid generic sites that list hundreds of unrelated conferences.
