2026 8th International Conference on Human-Centered Computing and Data Intelligence (HCC 2026)
 

📍 Guangzhou, China   |   December 18–20, 2026

The 2026 8th International Conference on Human-Centered Computing and Data Intelligence (HCC 2026) will be held in Guangzhou, China, from December 18 to 20, 2026. Since its inauguration in 2014, the International Conference on Human-Centered Computing (HCC) has been successfully organized as an international forum for researchers worldwide to exchange advances in human-centered computing, artificial intelligence, data intelligence, and related fields. Previous editions were held in Cambodia (2014), Sri Lanka (2016), Russia (2017), Mexico (2018), Serbia (2019), and virtually in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting from HCC 2026, the conference has been renamed the International Conference on Human-Centered Computing and Data Intelligence, reflecting its expanded research scope and growing emphasis on data intelligence and AI-related technologies.

As the continuation and evolution of the HCC series, HCC 2026 aims to provide a high-level international platform for researchers, scholars, and industry professionals to exchange ideas and share advances in human-centered computing, data intelligence, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and intelligent systems. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies, human-centered computing has entered a new stage where intelligent data analysis and human-oriented system design are increasingly interconnected. HCC 2026 therefore focuses on innovative theories, methodologies, and applications in human-centered AI, intelligent data processing, human-computer interaction, data analytics, and intelligent computing systems.

The conference welcomes original research contributions addressing emerging challenges in human-centered computing and data intelligence. By bringing together interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, HCC 2026 seeks to promote collaboration, foster technological innovation, and advance intelligent computing solutions that effectively integrate computational capabilities with human needs in the intelligent era.
