Chitkara University proudly announces the 9th edition of its flagship engineering conference, the World Engineering Conference on Contemporary Artificial Intelligence Technologies (WECON™ 2026). The conference is partially supported by the Chitkara University Technology Enabling Centre (CU-TEC), sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.
WECON™ 2026 will bring together distinguished researchers, academicians, industry leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from across the globe to exchange ideas, present cutting- edge research, and showcase transformative technologies in the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence.
Chitkara University has been conducting WECON since 2008, and over the years, eight editions of the conference have been successfully organized. The most recent edition, WECON 2025, was conducted with technical sponsorship from the IEEE Delhi Section. Over the years, WECON has earned a reputation as one of the premier engineering conferences in North India.
WECON has consistently received support and endorsement from leading government organizations, professional societies, industries, and international universities. Previous editions have witnessed participation and support from organizations such as ISRO, DRDO, IEEE Delhi Section, Texas Instruments, NXP Semiconductors, Applied Materials Inc., IESA, EFY, and Elsevier, along with collaborations with internationally reputed universities including Deakin University (Australia), British Columbia Institute of Technology (Canada), George Brown College (Canada), and Heriot-Watt University Malaysia. More details are available on the Past Editions page.
Initially, WECON focused on the emerging domains of Wireless Networks and Embedded Systems. As engineering and technology evolved, so did the conference. Since its recent editions, WECON has expanded its scope to encompass contemporary and emerging technologies, providing a broader platform for interdisciplinary research and innovation. Reflecting this evolution, the conference is now known as the World Engineering Conference on Contemporary Technologies (WECON).
WECON 2026 marks the 9th edition of the conference and it is going to focus on the Contemporary Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Societal and Industrial Transformation.
