Engineering and technology conferences are where engineers, computer scientists and industry R&D teams present new research, products and standards. ConferenceInc lists upcoming engineering conferences for 2026–2027, including AI and machine learning, computer science, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, and renewable energy.
Many engineering conferences publish peer-reviewed proceedings, which makes them an important route for publishing research. Always confirm the publisher and indexing on the publisher's own website before you submit a paper.
ConferenceInc currently lists 169 upcoming engineering conferences worldwide across 15 cities. The busiest city is Singapore (12 events), followed by Sydney, Zurich and Las Vegas.
The busiest month is November 2026 with 39 events. The next event is International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2026) on 4 October 2026 in Abu Dhabi.
The leading host countries are Australia (23), the USA (17) and China (15).
Look for a clear call for papers with a named technical programme committee, a defined peer-review process and a named proceedings publisher. Check that publisher's website to confirm that the proceedings are really published there and indexed where the organizer claims.

Some are. Indexing depends on the publisher and on each proceedings volume, so check the publisher's website and the Scopus source list rather than relying only on the organizer's claim.
In computer science and many engineering fields, papers at top conferences are highly valued. In other fields journal articles count for more. Our guide to conference proceedings vs journal articles explains the difference.
Right now the most upcoming engineering conferences are in Australia, the USA, China and Germany.
