In-Person Event with Virtual Component

Taking place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada—September 13–18, 2026—the 7th IEEE Quantum Week will be an in-person conference with a virtual component. We are eager to welcome attendees and presenters at the conference venue, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, to participate in live exhibits, paper sessions, workshops, tutorials, panels, networking, and collaborative spaces.

Attend in person for the whole experience!

Virtual registration options will also be available for those who are unable to travel to Canada.
  • The QCE26 daily program will again be orchestrated as an in-person event.
  • For the virtual component, we will use the same platform as last year and provide in part synchronous access via Zoom in Eastern Time Zone (EDT / UTC -4).
  • Recorded sessions will be available for registered QCE26 attendees approximately one week after the conference and will be accessible until 31 December 2026.
