Submission of Publication Materials

Final camera-ready manuscripts must be submitted in the IEEE two-column format. In addition, IEEE Copyright Form must be signed and submitted before the deadline. These documents must be submitted according to the paper submission system.

Payment of Full Registration Fee

One of the authors must pay a full, regular registration fee. Reduced registration fees (for example, student or life member registration fees) are not considered regular, and will NOT be accepted for publication. Please note a full, regular registration entitles an author to publish up to two (2) papers.

Presenting at the conference

The 2026 IEEE GreenTech Conference will be held fully in person. We expect all papers to be presented by the authors. For each paper, at least one of the authors must attend the conference and present the work according to the conference schedule. All papers accepted and presented will be included in the conference proceedings and published at the IEEE Xplore.

After the registration, in rare unexpected cases when none of the authors can attend the conference and present, the authors themselves must coordinate with a qualified colleague of theirs to present the paper on their behalf. This arrangement is the sole responsibility of the authors and they need to inform the Technical Program Chair as soon as possible.

Those authors that will not be allowed to travel to the conference and present their papers in person due to visa issues or strict national rules will be given the opportunity to have their accepted work presented through a video presentation. Contact the conference Technical Program Chair to request this option explaining the circumstances that will prevent you from attending in person.

Acceptance requirements

Final accepted conference papers (regular technical tracks and special sessions) will be included in IEEE Xplore only if:

All required materials have been submitted in the proper format

Full registration fee has been paid by one of the authors

The paper has been presented at the conference

Please note that no-show papers (papers that are not presented at the conference) will NOT be included in IEEE Xplore and no registration refund will be given.
