OTHER SESSIONS

• Session I: Live Demo
• Session II: Student Research Forum
• Session III: Journal pre-published paper
• Session IV: Sensors Letters (SL) re-Routed papers Option A
• Session V: Direct to Sensors Letters papers Option B

Publication of Papers in Conference Proceedings and IEEE Sensors Letters

Authors get two options of submissions:

Option A:

to the conference through Epapers portal

Option B:

direct to the IEEE Sensors Letters through ScholarOne manuscripts

Papers submitted to Option A will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee of APSCON 2026 for quality and scope. If accepted, the authors will be able to present their work during the conference. Such papers submitted and accepted via Option A will be published in the conference Proceedings. 

Papers submitted via Option B will be reviewed by the editorial team of IEEE Sensors Letters and will be published directly in this journal, if accepted. Authors of such papers are expected to present their work during APSCON 2026, provided the topic aligns with the scope of the conference. Papers that are not accepted under Option B may be submitted via Option A after appropriately addressing reviewers’ comments form IEEE Sensors letters.

Industry Day

Full of industry-led activities, thematic round-table meetings, focused sessions, keynote talks, tutorials/workshops.

Sensors Startup Summit

The emerging ecosystem of startups will be invited to network and get together to share their success-stories, opportunities, marketplace and technological challenges. Live Demos of their business model is also invited.

Students Research Forum

We invite advanced stage PhD work and completed theses (not older than 6 months), MTech/MS theses and undergrad high level research projects to present and get inputs from the experts. This will give these aspiring students a platform to network, improve their work besides exploring post-doctoral opportunities and/or job offers.

Sensors Standards Opportunities

IEEE Sensors Council’s Standards Committee invites you to explore sensors domains standards development opportunities while sharing an overview of its activities.
