Theme: AI and Industrial Internet of Things
The 2026 International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control will be hosted in Chongqing, China. A dynamic megacity in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Chongqing is one of the nation's four direct-administered municipalities. Set where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers meet and known as China's “Mountain City,” it carries a deep Ba-Yu cultural heritage. As a core engine of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and an inland-opening highland, Chongqing offers the conference a distinct blend of cultural depth, industrial strength, and connectivity.

The conference will feature plenary speeches, panel sessions, tutorials, workshops, interactive sessions, and invited/special sessions, with contributions expected from academia, industry, and management agencies. The conference theme is: AI and Industrial Internet of Things.
