On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) and the IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) 2026 Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite submissions to the 46th IGARSS which will take place 9-14 August 2026 in the international city of Washington, DC, USA. As the flagship conference of the IEEE GRSS, IGARSS 2026 is set to be an exceptional event, bringing together the global community of geoscience and remote sensing professionals.

Conference Theme: "The Future of Earth Observations"

The IGARSS 2026 theme is to address the evolving technical, scientific, and policy landscape of Earth observations, remote sensing, and geoscience. IGARSS 2026 will highlight the essential contribution of Earth observations and remote sensing in understanding and monitoring the global environment. The conference aims to foster international cooperation in developing global solutions to understand our planet, positioning it as an essential gathering for researchers dedicated to advancing remote sensing technologies for a sustainable future.
