The inaugural ISAC conference continues the IEEE Integrated Sensing and Communication Conference series under IEEE Communications Society. Its programme covers integrated sensing and communication, beyond-5G and 6G systems and remote and environmental sensing for wireless communications researchers, radar and sensing engineers and 6G system architects, related aerospace decision-makers and technical programme leaders.
About IEEE Integrated Sensing and Communication Conference
IEEE Integrated Sensing and Communication Conference is a integrated sensing and communications research conference scheduled for 16 November–18 November 2026 at Lisbon, Portugal. What distinguishes the event is that it examines how shared radio resources can deliver both environmental awareness and data connectivity. The published format uses research presentations and technical exchange intended to consolidate work across communications, sensing and emerging network applications. This structure lets participants follow the relationship between integrated sensing and communication and beyond-5G and 6G systems, while also seeing how remote and environmental sensing affects real systems and programmes. IEEE Integrated Sensing and Communication Conference is relevant to space and aerospace organisations because remote sensing, satellite links, autonomous platforms and future non-terrestrial networks increasingly combine communications with sensing functions. The inaugural ISAC conference should therefore be read through its primary technical identity, not described as a generic space conference. The current IEEE Integrated Sensing and Communication Conference programme remains the authority for individual sessions, contributors and access arrangements.
Event history and organiser
The 2026 meeting is the 1st annual IEEE conference dedicated to integrated sensing and communication as a unified design paradigm. Current information for this inaugural ISAC conference is published by IEEE Communications Society. The 2026 meeting at Lisbon, Portugal gives this inaugural ISAC conference a specific setting; it does not imply that every earlier programme, contributor or participation condition will repeat. Its continuing identity rests on integrated sensing and communication, beyond-5G and 6G systems and the specialist community working across those areas. The development of this inaugural ISAC conference also reflects a wider shift towards remote and environmental sensing in aerospace and adjacent technical sectors. For IEEE Integrated Sensing and Communication Conference 2026, IEEE Communications Society is the authority for current edition facts, while the linked institutional source provides context for the event family and organising relationship. This background helps readers place its work on integrated sensing and communication within the event’s established professional community.
Topics and themes
The 2026 programme connects its central subjects through the event’s integrated sensing and communications research conference format, giving each theme a clear relationship to the wider technical purpose.
- Integrated sensing and communication: the programme connects beyond-5G and 6G systems with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by wireless communications researchers.
- Beyond-5G and 6G systems: the programme connects remote and environmental sensing with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by radar and sensing engineers.
- Remote and environmental sensing: the programme connects vehicular and autonomous networks with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by 6G system architects.
- Vehicular and autonomous networks: the programme connects shared radio-resource design with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by remote-sensing specialists.
- Shared radio-resource design: the programme connects integrated sensing and communication with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by autonomy and IoT developers.
Who should attend?
The inaugural ISAC conference is principally for wireless communications researchers, radar and sensing engineers and 6G system architects. These groups can use its programme to compare work on integrated sensing and communication with developments in beyond-5G and 6G systems, identify relevant research or suppliers and understand the constraints shaping implementation. Remote-sensing specialists bring a complementary perspective where the programme reaches remote and environmental sensing, while autonomy and IoT developers may find value in sessions closest to their current responsibilities. The inaugural ISAC conference is less suitable for unrelated general-interest visits because its usefulness depends on a defined technical or professional connection. Prospective attendees should check the current programme before registering.
