About this event
The 2026 IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI 2026) brings together people working at the intersection of advanced intelligence, security, and real-world systems that increasingly shape how we move through the world. If your work touches data, threat detection, resilient infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, or mobility technology, this is the kind of conference where technical depth meets urgent practical relevance. Set in Cambridge, United Kingdom, this in-person gathering offers a focused environment for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers who want to understand where the field is going next. Rather than broad, generic discussion, ISI 2026 is positioned around the serious challenges of making intelligent systems safer, more trustworthy, and more operationally useful. About the Event IEEE ISI is a long-running conference series centered on intelligence and security informatics: the methods, systems, and applications used to analyze complex data, detect risks, support decision-making, and improve security outcomes. In 2026, that core mission is especially relevant to domains such as autonomous vehicles and mobility tech, where safety, privacy, cyber resilience, and situational awareness are tightly connected. As an in-person conference, the event is designed to support both formal knowledge-sharing and the kinds of informal conversations that often lead to collaboration. You can expect a mix of research-driven discussion, applied perspectives, and cross-disciplinary exchange between people who may approach the same problem from very different angles. This is not just a venue for presenting completed work. It is also a place to pressure-test ideas, compare methods, and see how adjacent communities are tackling similar questions around trust, security, intelligence, and system performance. For attendees working on emerging transportation systems, that broader perspective can be especially valuable. What to Expect Expect a conference rhythm built around technical sessions, presentations, and topic-focused discussion. The subject matter is likely to span core intelligence and security informatics themes, while also speaking to current challenges in connected and autonomous systems, mobility platforms, and data-intensive decision environments. You should come ready for conversations about issues such as: AI and data-driven intelligence for complex operational environments Security and resilience in connected systems and digital infrastructure Risk detection, monitoring, and response across physical and cyber domains Privacy, trust, and governance in systems that rely on large-scale data Autonomous vehicles and mobility technology as high-stakes application areas Beyond scheduled sessions, one of the strongest parts of an event like this is the space between them: the questions after a talk, the hallway exchange that reframes your approach, the introduction that turns into a future project. Because the conference is in person, you can expect more direct engagement than you would get from a purely virtual format. If you are presenting work, this is a setting where your audience is likely to understand both the technical details and the operational implications. If you are attending to learn, you will get exposure to current thinking from people actively building, studying, and evaluating these systems. Why Attend If you work in or around intelligent systems, security, or mobility, the value of ISI 2026 is in its combination of rigor and relevance. You are not only hearing about methods in the abstract; you are seeing how those methods relate to real environments where reliability, safety, and trust matter. For researchers, this is a strong opportunity to understand where academic inquiry is connecting with urgent applied needs. You can sharpen your framing, get feedback from an informed audience, and identify questions that deserve deeper investigation. For practitioners, the conference offers a way to scan the horizon for approaches, tools, and ideas that may influence your work over the next few years. There is also real value in the cross-sector mix. Security experts, data scientists, engineers, policy-minded attendees, and mobility specialists often solve different parts of the same problem. Bringing those perspectives into the same room helps surface blind spots, assumptions, and opportunities that are easy to miss within a single discipline. In short, attend if you want to leave with clearer insight into: What is changing in intelligence and security informatics How those changes affect autonomous and connected mobility systems Which technical and strategic questions are becoming most important Who else is working on problems adjacent to your own Practical Details Location: This event is in person in Cambridge, United Kingdom. That matters: the conference is built for face-to-face exchange, live discussion, and on-site networking rather than passive viewing. Date and time: Wednesday, August 12 at 12:00 AM UTC. If you are traveling internationally or planning around time zones, it is worth confirming your local schedule early and making room for the full conference experience. Because this is a conference setting, it is smart to come prepared to engage actively. Review the program in advance when available, note the sessions most relevant to your work, and leave space for serendipitous conversations. The strongest outcomes often come from a combination of planned learning and unexpected connection. If your interests sit anywhere between intelligent systems, security, autonomy, and mobility, ISI 2026 is a strong place to spend your time. It offers a serious, in-person environment to learn from experts, test your thinking, and connect with people working on problems that are becoming more important every year.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want serious, current discussion on how intelligent systems and security challenges are shaping autonomous and connected mobility. - You are a **researcher or academic** working in intelligence and security informatics, AI, cyber-physical systems, transportation technology, or related fields, and you want to share work or see where the field is moving. - You are an **engineer, developer, or technical lead** building systems for autonomous vehicles, mobility platforms, sensing, analytics, or infrastructure, and you want stronger insight into security, trust, and operational risk. - You work in **cybersecurity, threat analysis, or resilience planning** and want to understand how your expertise applies to emerging transportation and connected-system environments. - You are a **data scientist or applied AI practitioner** looking for rigorous, real-world use cases where intelligence methods meet high-stakes decision-making. - You are in **policy, governance, public-sector, or institutional roles** and need a clearer view of the technical issues behind safety, privacy, and security in advanced mobility systems. - You are looking for **high-quality peer conversations** with people who care about both technical depth and practical impact, not surface-level trend talk.
