Multimedia Intelligence for Sustainable Futures

The 2026 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Information Processing and Retrieval (MIPR 2026) will be held in the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand. After successful editions in Tokyo (2023) and Singapore (2024), and building on the momentum of MIPR 2025 in Silicon Valley (“Multimedia Intelligence in the Age of AI”), MIPR 2026 returns to Southeast Asia with a renewed focus on how multimedia technologies can drive sustainability, health, environmental monitoring, security, and equitable access to information.

Hosted by Mahidol University—ranked #3 globally for SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) in the THE Impact Rankings 2025—MIPR 2026 proudly aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlights Thailand’s leadership in building a healthier, greener, and more inclusive future through multimedia innovation.

IEEE MIPR 2026 continues to be a premier forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to present cutting-edge advancements in multimedia retrieval, processing, analysis, and applications. The conference features plenary keynotes, tutorials, workshops, industry demos, spotlight oral sessions, and a rich social program in the “City of Angels.”
