The IEEE Latin American Conference on Internet of Things (IEEE LC-IoT) is envisioned as a key platform for advancing the development of IoT systems across Latin America and the Caribbean. The conference offers a holistic perspective on the Internet of Things. It covers every ecosystem layer—smart device design, communication infrastructure, computational platforms, real-world applications, and socioeconomic and environmental implications.
By connecting academia, industry, and policymakers, IEEE LC-IoT fosters strategic partnerships and a vibrant exchange of ideas that strengthen the regional IoT ecosystem. Its focus on domain-specific applications in healthcare, agriculture, transportation, industry, and smart cities reflects a commitment to addressing local priorities through inclusive and scalable innovation.
The IEEE Internet of Things (IoT) Technical Community has chosen Bogotá as the venue for the 2026 IEEE Latin American Conference on the Internet of Things. Bogotá is a city situated atop the Andean mountains, boasting a vibrant mix of cultures and biodiversity. As Colombia's capital, it combines modern infrastructure with a rich history, offering diverse cultural experiences and beautiful landscapes.
