The 16th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2026) will be held end of November 2026 in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. IoT 2026 will be organised in a fully physical format by Newcastle University. The programme will include a research paper track, keynotes, workshops, and posters and demos!

The International Conference on the Internet of Things is the premier gathering for visionary and groundbreaking research in IoT and closely related fields. It connects world-class researchers with leading industry experts to steer innovation in multiple IoT verticals (e.g., smart industry, smart cities, smart health, smart environment). Since its start in 2008, the conference has been backed by strong support from leading academic institutions and industry.

IoT 2026 solicits original, high-impact research papers on all topics related to the development and adoption of the Internet of Things. Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts from the technical programme committee following a double-blind review process (i.e., the identity of the reviewer and the authors’ names and affiliations are hidden. Therefore, the submissions should be anonymised). The papers will be evaluated based on relevance, soundness, novelty, practical relevance and potential impact.
