IEEE ITW2026

Welcome to the 2026 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (IEEE ITW’26). The ITW’26 will be held in the beautiful desert city of Tempe, Arizona, USA, between November 10–13, 2026.

ITW’26 is planned as an in-person conference, with authors expected to travel and participate in the event. The Tempe area is known for its stunning Sonoran Desert landscapes, and world-famous nearby destinations like the Grand Canyon and Sedona.

Original contributions on blockchain, coding theory and practice, communications theory, applications of information theory and statistics, information-theoretic security, machine learning theory and practice, network information theory, network coding and distributed storage, quantum information theory, and quantum error correction are invited.

ITW'26 will be putting a specific focus on the areas of information theory in machine learning, quantum information and coding, and coding for 6G. For the very first time, ITW'26 will have an ITW student paper award.
