International Scientific Conference on SMART 2026 – Smart Management, Analytics, Research & Transformation
15-19 June 2026, Varna, (St St Constantine and Helena Resort)

The International Conference on SMART 2026 seeks to create an inclusive academic platform for the presentation and discussion of original research, innovative methodologies, and practical implementations in the fields of management science, business analytics, digital transformation, and sustainable organisational strategies. The conference invites contributions that address both theoretical foundations and applied challenges shaping contemporary socio-economic systems.

SMART 2026 fosters interdisciplinary exchange among scientists, practitioners, doctoral candidates, and policy-makers from around the world. In accordance with internationally recognised standards for scientific review and dissemination, all submitted papers will undergo rigorous peer review, and accepted contributions will be showcased during the event and considered for publication in the conference proceedings.

The conference aims to stimulate scholarly dialogue, advance research frontiers, and strengthen collaboration across academic institutions, industry partners, and governmental organisations. By highlighting emerging trends, cutting-edge analytical tools, and transformative strategies, SMART 2026 will support knowledge exchange that contributes to the sustainable development of enterprises, public governance, and civil society.

Situated in an inspiring international setting, SMART 2026 promotes networking opportunities, fosters new research partnerships, and encourages engagement with global research communities.

2026 International Conference on Information Technologies
(InfoTech 2026 – 40th issue)
IEEE Conference takes place September 10-11, 2026

The forum started as a National Scientific School for Young Specialists (1987) in the areas of computing, computer systems and technology, automation and program applications. During the period 1988 – 1990 the Conference was connected with the beautiful north Black Sea resort Albena. Over 80 persons (young scientists, PhD-students, IT specialists, etc.) took part in these issues of the Conference.

Since 1991 the School-format is transformed into International Conference SAER and English was introduced as a work language for all printed materials. The period after 2005 is characterized by uniting a new event – International Workshop (EG&DP). Two separated Proceedings including over 60 reports in English are published and disseminated in over 20 libraries in the World. Electronic versions of these Proceedings (issues after 2003) are assigned to two databases of EBSCO Publishing (USA).

Since 2007 starts the new format of the forum – International Conference on Information Technologies (InfoTech). The main goal is to unite the scientific areas of the SAER Conference and information and communication problems of the EG&DP Workshop. The working language for all printed materials, report presentations and discussions is English. Proceedings are spread over 20 libraries in the World.
