Conference Overview

The Global Conference on Wireless & Optical Technologies 2026 (GCWOT’26) is the 8th edition of an international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding novel aspects of technology, application, and service development.

GCWOT’26 is not only serving as an international platform for exchanging ideas and research outcomes across wireless, optical, and underwater communication technologies, but it also offers multi-topic tracks focusing on emerging technologies.

GC-WOT aims to facilitate a creative environment for the promotion of collaboration and knowledge transfer. The conference program will consist of keynote speakers from both industry and academia, panel discussions, and a multi-track technical program with the possibility of submitting special sessions.

Authors are encouraged to submit full original papers in English and not considered for publication elsewhere. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the paper at the conference in order for it to be included in the program. The program will also be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.
