IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) 2026 plans to hold a number of Panel sessions, and invites the submission of Panel proposals.
The IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) is a top-ranked, flagship conference of the IEEE Communications Society, bringing together researchers from all sectors, i.e., academia, industry and government.
Goal
A Panel, to be held in a conference time slot, aims at bringing together speakers from industry and academia, encompassing several sectors, to discuss a timely and relevant topic of interest to conference participants.
Proposal
The proposal for a Panel should follow the template, and be submitted via the Panel Submission Form, indicating the following information:
Proposer information.
- Title, Motivation and Background.
- List of 5 questions to be discussed/answered in the panel.
- Participants’ information.
Structure
To allow enough time for discussion in the Panel, which is its main goal, the following structure should be followed:
- The Panel should not have more than 4 Participants, plus the Moderator.
- The Organiser is supposed to be the Moderator. There should be only 1 Moderator.
- The Organiser has to establish a few questions to be addressed by the Participants.
- The Panel occupies one time slot, i.e., 1h30.
- Panels will be held during the conference main programme, in parallel with other technical sessions, on 2026 April 14th to 16th.
- The Moderator gives a 10-minute presentation at the beginning of the Panel, to introduce the topic.
- Participants should address the questions posed, in a 10-minute presentation each (very strict time control!). Basically, the presentation should consist of 6 slides, i.e., the cover slide plus one per question.
