IJCB 2026: IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics

IJCB 2026, the IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics, is held 1–4 September 2026 in Rome — the 10th edition of this flagship event, which unites two major biometrics conferences (IEEE BTAS and the International Conference on Biometrics) under an agreement between the IEEE Biometrics Council and IAPR TC-4.

What you gain

IJCB is the premier international forum for research in biometrics and related technologies — face, fingerprint, iris, gait, voice and emerging modalities — across theory, applications and systems, with special sessions, tutorials and competitions. Papers connect to the IEEE Transactions on Biometrics, Behavior, and Identity Science (T-BIOM).

Where it fits

Biometrics sits at a charged intersection of AI capability and societal concern: face recognition, presentation-attack detection and identity systems raise hard accuracy, fairness and privacy questions. IJCB is where the technical state of the art and its responsible deployment are worked out together — essential for researchers and practitioners in identity, security and computer vision.
