LACCEI 2026 is the 24th International Multiconference for Engineering, Education, and Technology, and will be held in Santiago Chile. The conference is also known as "The OAS Summit of Engineering for the Americas" and is organized by LACCEI, a consortium of engineering institutions from the Americas and Europe. It promotes international collaboration in engineering education, research, and innovation.

The European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI) Annual Conference is a scientific conference focused on Engineering Education and the biggest event of this type in Europe. SEFI Annual Conferences offer a unique opportunity for professors, students, industry and professional organizations to exchange their views and to meet their peers and create a European network of contacts. The topics of the conferences reflect the objectives of the society and the priorities identified by its members. For 2026, the conference will be hosted at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

The World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF), organized by International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), is a global event that brings together educators, industry leaders, and policy makers to collaborate on improving and advancing engineering education. The forum serves as a key platform for exchanging ideas, addressing global challenges, and developing innovative approaches to engineering education.

Complementing WEEF, the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) Annual Conference emphasizes leadership and innovation, engaging deans from institutions worldwide to address key challenges in engineering education.

The Frontiers in Education (FIE) Conference is a major international conference focusing on educational innovations and research in engineering and computing education. The IEEE Education Society founded the conference in 1971. The American Society for Engineering Education joined as a co-sponsor in 1973. In 1995, the IEEE Computer Society became a sponsor and together these three groups have continued to plan high quality events that provide engineering and computer science educators the opportunity to network and showcase peer-reviewed scholarly contributions in educational research and classroom practice. The 2026 Theme is "Engineering and Computing Education in the Large Language Model Era."

The 12th International Symposium on Accreditation of Engineering and Computing Education - ICACIT will be a space to share knowledge and experiences in accreditation, education, and continuous quality improvement among professionals from academia, industry and government.

The Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AAEE) is a professional organization committed to fostering excellence and innovation in engineering education. The 2026 AAEE Annual Conference has the theme, "Making the Impossible Possible”, which captures the essence of engineering as a driving force for transformation and innovation.

Inspired by the visionary words of von Karman, who noted that while scientists discover what is, engineers build what never was, AAEE 2026 aims to explore the pivotal role of engineering education in shaping the future. We will focus on the vital knowledge, skills, and attitudes that future engineers must possess to thrive in an increasingly complex world. We’ll examine how to bridge technical expertise with real-world social impact, ensuring that engineering education remains a catalyst for innovation and positive change. The conference will take place at UNSW’s Kensington Campus.
