How to find upcoming conferences at a place| Upcoming conferences | IEEE Conferences| IEEE Xplore

IEEE Xplore is a common destination for publishing research, but finding legitimate IEEE-sponsored conferences can be tricky—especially when fake “publications” lure authors with promises of acceptance. A practical way to avoid that risk is to start inside IEEE Xplore’s own conference listings, then filter aggressively by date, event format, and location.

From the IEEE Xplore main page, the “upcoming conferences” section lists only a few events at a time. Clicking “see all upcoming” opens a fuller catalog and adds filters. Authors can narrow results by time window—for example, selecting “next six months” to surface conferences scheduled within that period. They can also filter by event format using “event format,” which distinguishes among hybrid (in-person plus online), offline (in-person), and virtual (online-only). A key detail: when “virtual” is selected, location filtering becomes irrelevant because online conferences don’t depend on a physical host city.

Location filtering becomes useful when choosing hybrid or offline events. Selecting a place such as India, for instance, yields conferences scheduled in that country within the chosen time window and with the selected format. One example shown is a hybrid conference in Dehradun, scheduled for 8–9 September 2023. Opening the conference listing leads to a dedicated conference website where authors can verify the organizer and the full timeline: paper submission opening (1 January 2023), submission deadline (15 June 2023), acceptance notification timing (by 1 July 2023), final camera-ready deadline (15 July 2023), registration deadline (1 August 2023), and the conference dates (10–9 September 2023 as listed). The listing also notes that accepted and presented papers from that event will be submitted to IEEE Xplore.

The workflow also includes checking “call for papers” and downloading the IEEE template for formatting. The conference page typically lists rules, registration fees, and policies that affect whether a paper will appear in proceedings. For example, the transcript highlights student and faculty fee tiers and a possible discount for certain categories (an additional 10% discount for registered authors from a specified CST category upon submitting a category certificate).

For virtual-only events, the same approach applies, but the policy can differ. An example given is “11th ICo ICT Conference 2023,” described as virtual via an online platform. Its timeline includes a paper submission deadline (15 May 2023), acceptance notification (by 30 June 2023), camera-ready deadline (15 July 2023), author registration (13 July 2023), and conference dates (23–24 August 2023). The call for papers lists topic areas such as machine intelligence, machine learning, digital healthcare, bioinformatics, health systems, big data analytics, IoT, and more. It also includes a “non-presented paper policy” stating that if a paper is not presented in the online conference, the committee may exclude it from distribution after the conference.

Finally, the transcript addresses a common misconception: IEEE membership is not required to submit to IEEE conferences. Membership can reduce registration costs and provide additional benefits, but submission itself does not depend on being an IEEE member. The practical takeaway is to use IEEE Xplore’s filters to find the right conference, then verify deadlines, fees, templates, and presentation/distribution rules directly on the conference website before submitting anywhere.
