— Welcome to BDCAT 2026 —

We are thrilled to welcome you to the 13th edition of the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications, and Technologies (BDCAT 2026). As the era of data-driven intelligence continues to reshape our world, BDCAT remains a premier annual conference series dedicated to advancing the frontiers of Big Data.

Our mission is to provide a dynamic platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders from around the globe to present new discoveries, share innovative ideas, and tackle the most pressing challenges in the broad area of big data computing and applications.

Since its inaugural edition in London, UK (2014), BDCAT has grown into a vibrant global community. Over the past decade, the conference has traveled to leading scientific hubs across the world. BDCAT has played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between academia and industry. By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, the BDCAT community has directly impacted how we scale, manage, and extract actionable insights from massive datasets, influencing everything from enterprise systems and scientific research to public policy and deep learning architectures.

Join us in 2026 as we continue to push the boundaries of Big Data. We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you to another exciting edition of BDCAT!
