Fastest Scopus Indexed Data Mining & Big Data Conferences 2026

For researchers in Data Science, "Speed" is often the priority. Whether you are a Master's student needing a paper for graduation or a PhD student meeting a Scopus quota, waiting a year for a journal review is not an option.
In 2026, the fastest route to Scopus indexing is through conferences published by ACM ICPS (International Conference Proceedings Series) or IEEE Xplore. These publishers typically index papers within 3 to 6 months after the conference date.
Below is the curated list of 2026 Fast-Track Options for Data Mining and Big Data, sorted by their submission urgency.

1. ICBDE 2026 (The "ACM" Fast Track)
International Conference on Big Data Engineering This is widely considered one of the most reliable "Safety Net" conferences for Big Data. It has a long history of being published by ACM, which ensures very stable and relatively fast Scopus indexing.

• Focus: Big Data Architecture, Data Mining Algorithms, AI for Data Analysis.
• 2026 Status: The conference usually takes place in May/June. The submission deadline is typically in January or February.
• Publisher: ACM (indexed by Scopus & Ei Compendex).
• Official Website: Visit ICBDE 2026

2. ICMLC 2026 (The "Standard" for Machine Learning)
International Conference on Machine Learning and Computing While focused on Machine Learning, it has a massive track dedicated to Data Mining. It is a long-standing conference (approaching its 18th year) with a reputation for consistency.

• Focus: Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition, Mining Complex Datasets.
• 2026 Status: Usually held in July (Submission deadline around March/April).
• Publisher: ACM (indexed by Scopus & Ei Compendex).
• Official Website: Visit ICMLC 2026

3. ICCBD 2026 (The "IEEE" Option)
International Conference on Cloud Computing and Big Data If you prefer an IEEE publication over ACM, this is the solid choice. It combines Cloud Computing infrastructure with Big Data analytics.

• Focus: Cloud Storage, Data Privacy, Large-Scale Data Processing.
• 2026 Status: Typically held in August. Submissions often close in May/June.
• Publisher: IEEE (indexed by IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Ei Compendex).
• Official Website: Visit ICCBD 2026

4. ICCBDC 2026 (Cloud & Big Data Computing)
International Conference on Cloud Computing and Big Data Computing Another strong ACM-sponsored event. It is often held in the UK or Europe, making it a good destination conference that also guarantees indexing.

• Focus: Data Warehousing, Mining Social Networks, Cloud Services.
• 2026 Status: Usually held in August.
• Publisher: ACM (Scopus/Ei).
• Official Website: Visit ICCBDC 2026

5. DSA 2026 (Data Science & Applications)
International Conference on Data Science and Applications A more specialized venue that often partners with Springer for publication. Springer's Lecture Notes series is highly respected in the academic community.

• Focus: Statistics, Data Visualization, Bioinformatics.
• 2026 Status: Watch for announcements for late 2026.
• Publisher: Springer (LNAI or CCIS Series).
