ICASSP 2026: Where Signal Meets Intelligence

2026 marks the 51st IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP), held May 3–8 in Barcelona, Spain. Attendants will have a chance to discover groundbreaking innovations, explore emerging research, and network with signal processing experts from around the world.

If you’d like to submit an original paper for review, the deadline to do so is September 17th, 2025. Authors are encouraged to include content on how their contributions are related to prior work in their field, to provide context for their new work. Exceptional papers and contributors will be selected and recognized by ICASSP.

Additional Information

OJSP paper presentations: The IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing (OJSP) will provide a special track for submissions of 8+1 pages with the same review timeline as ICASSP submissions. Accepted papers will be published in OJSP and presented at the conference but will not be included in the conference proceedings.

Published journal paper presentations: If your paper has already been published or accepted in IEEE SPS journals, you may present your work at ICASSP 2026, though it will not be re-reviewed or included in the proceedings.

Open preview: Conference proceedings will be available to everyone, free of charge, in IEEEXplore, from 30 days prior to the conference start date until its end.
