About the conference

STAI 2027 is the third edition of the Smart Technology and Artificial Intelligence conference. It gathers researchers, academics, industry engineers, and government technologists to discuss applied computational intelligence. Sessions mix keynote talks from academia and industry with presentations of accepted peer-reviewed articles.

The chapter runs the conference in hybrid mode. In-person sessions happen on Day 1 at the Houston venue, and online participation runs across both days over Google Meet, so authors who cannot travel still present.

Post-conference proceedings are planned for the Scopus indexed Springer book series Studies in Autonomic, Data-driven and Industrial Computing. Springer approval is still pending, so treat the indexing claim as provisional until organizers confirm it.

Submission handling, registration, and committee administration run on the IoES platform. Use the official STAI 2027 site as the authoritative source for deadlines and committee listings.

What to know before you pay

  • The fee covers online proceedings, your presentation slot whether online or in person, and access to all sessions and keynote talks.
  • Technically sponsored by The Institution of Engineers and Scientists (IoES). Your ACM membership already qualifies you for the discounted rate, and IoES membership qualifies too. Chapter membership is separate from ACM membership.
  • In-person sessions run on Day 1 only. Tea, coffee, high tea, and a working lunch are provided at the venue on that day.
  • Attendees arrange and pay for their own travel and accommodation. Organizers take no responsibility for either.
  • SBS proceedings papers each receive a DOI. That series is not indexed in Scopus.
  • Registration fees are not refundable once paid, and registrations cannot be cancelled.
