The 7th International Conference on Big Data Research (ICBDR 2026) will take place in Chengdu, China during June 12-14, 2026. It is co-organized by Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, China and Southwest University of Science and Technology, China; assisted by Donghua University, China.
Big data research is now well established as very diverse and pluri-disciplinary research area whose objective is to deal with massive and heterogeneous datasets and that are too large to be manipulated by conventional modeling and most current computational approaches. Clearly, big data challenges should require novel approaches and success stories should be shared, this favoring exchanges, cross-fertilization and finally advances as well as future research directions to consider. The conference will also provide a platform for networking and collaboration, enabling participants to build valuable connections with colleagues from around the world.
