IEEE BigData 2026: IEEE International Conference on Big Data

IEEE BigData 2026, the IEEE International Conference on Big Data, runs 14–17 December 2026 at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown in Phoenix, Arizona. Since 2013 it has been a premier global forum for the big-data community.

What you gain

The conference delivers peer-reviewed research across data mining, databases, artificial intelligence, machine learning and scalable systems, with special sessions on privacy and security, healthcare data, ML on big data, intelligent data mining and federated learning — plus a high-school symposium that widens the pipeline. It's a strong venue to engage with leaders applying big-data and AI methods to real-world problems in science, healthcare and finance.

Where it fits

Today's AI runs on data at scale: training corpora, retrieval indexes and the pipelines that feed agents. IEEE BigData sits exactly where data engineering meets machine learning, making it valuable for researchers and practitioners building the data foundations that modern AI depends on.
