The AdCONIP 2026 International Symposium on Advanced Control of Industrial Processes is a recurring international conference on advanced control methods and their application to industrial processes, bridging control theory and industrial practice. The official symposium site confirms it runs from 29 November to 1 December 2026 at the University of Auckland in Auckland, New Zealand, with a submission deadline extended to 31 May 2026.
According to the official symposium site, AdCONIP 2026 is hosted by the University of Auckland's Faculty of Engineering & Design. The National Organising Committee is chaired by Brent Young of the University of Auckland, with David Wilson of Auckland University of Technology as co-chair. The International Programme Committee is chaired by Ikuro Mizumoto of Kumamoto University, with Wei Yu of the University of Auckland as co-chair. The IEEE Control Systems Society lists the symposium among its technically cosponsored events.
The symposium draws control-systems and process-engineering academics and industry practitioners. Its programme centres on advanced control methodology and its application to industrial processes, with an emphasis on linking theory to practical implementation; a Call for Submissions is open on the official site.
The symposium is held at the University of Auckland's Faculty of Engineering & Design on the Auckland city campus (the Auckland Isthmus). The campus sits in central Auckland, within reach of the city's CBD hotels and served by Auckland's domestic and international airport; the university describes its setting with views toward the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. A dedicated conference-venue page is linked from the official site, though no specific building is named in the material reviewed.
