IEEE BigData 2026 — IEEE International Conference on Big Data

The 2026 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2026) takes place 14-17 December 2026 at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown in Phoenix, Arizona. Run by IEEE, it is one of the longest-running venues where data-infrastructure research and production practice meet. The 2026 call is organised around ten tracks: Big Data Science and Foundations, Infrastructure, Management, Search and Mining, Data Ecosystem (fairness, trust, privacy and data monetisation), Foundation Models for Big Data, Applications, Big Data for Science, Benchmarks, and BlueSky Ideas. Beyond the main paper track the week carries workshops, tutorials, Big Data Cup competitions, an industrial and government track, special sessions on federated learning, healthcare data and privacy, plus undergraduate/REU and high-school symposia. Papers were due 21 August 2026, with notifications on 24 October and camera-ready copy on 14 November.

• ✓Enterprise architects
• ✓Government data leaders
• ✓Academic data mining researchers

This is where a data platform lead goes to answer 'what does our stack look like in three years'. The Foundation Models for Big Data track is squarely about the problems enterprises hit in production — training-data management, prompt engineering at scale, and serving cost — while the industrial and government track means the case studies come from people running real systems rather than labs. The benchmarks and data-ecosystem sessions give a defensible technical basis for challenging vendor performance, fairness and governance claims, and the federated-learning special session is directly relevant to any regulated business that cannot centralise its data.

• ✓Foundation Models for Big Data track — deployment, prompt engineering and training-data management
• ✓Industrial and Government track for production deployment reports
• ✓Big Data Cup competitions
• ✓Special sessions on Federated Learning, Healthcare Data, and Privacy and Security of Big Data
• ✓Big Data Benchmarks track on datasets and evaluation frameworks
• ✓Workshops and tutorials programme
• ✓Undergraduate and REU Consortium plus a High School Symposium

• ★Ten distinct research tracks rather than one paper pool, including one dedicated to foundation models for big data
• ★An industrial and government track that puts practitioners on the programme alongside academic authors
• ★An explicit benchmarks track covering datasets, evaluation frameworks and data-centric AI tooling
• ★Big Data Cup competitions run on real datasets rather than leaderboard demos
• ★IEEE-run with a long publication record, so accepted work lands in IEEE Xplore
