Register Online

Please read carefully the following information concerning the registration procedure that is presented in the Author Instructions, especially if you are the prospective presenter of an accepted paper or if you need to guarantee inclusion of your accepted paper in the proceedings.

• An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the full-fee registration payment for one of the authors is received and correctly processed by August 15, 2026 – no exceptions. In addition, the author must attend the conference and present the paper. Papers that are not presented will not be published. No exceptions.

• Only member or non-member fees are allowed to cover the publication of an accepted paper. To qualify for member rates, the membership number must be provided in the registration form. Student registration fees cannot be used for the publication of an accepted paper. If the author registering to cover the paper publication is a student, he/she has to pay the appropriate member or non-member fee. Members to whom the society bylaws grant special discounts (e.g., Students, Life members of the IEEE) cannot use the discounted rates to cover the publication of an accepted paper, they have to pay the member fee.

• One author registration will cover the publication expenses of only ONE accepted paper. For each additional accepted paper associated to the same registration, a $100 USD fee will be charged. Up to 3 papers can be covered by a single registration with additional paper fees. If an author is registering to cover the publication of more than 3 papers, they will need to pay an additional full registration fee. In the case no registration has been received and correctly processed to cover the paper publication, the conference organizers will contact the authors before the paper is removed from the proceedings.

• You will be required to enter your registration code prior to uploading your paper. Please contact the IEEE ISPCS 2026 Conference Manager, should you have any issues.

NO PAPER WILL BE PUBLISHED WITHOUT THE AUTHOR’S COMPLETED REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT.
