Dear colleagues,

We invite you to submit your work to the 17th ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy 2026), the premier venue for research at the intersection of computing, communication, and energy systems.

Conference Dates: June 22–25, 2026 Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Banff National Park, Canada Co-located with ACM BuildSys as part of ACM Sustainability Week

Full CFP attached as PDF.

What’s New in 2026

• Now part of ACM Sustainability Week
• Four methodological submission tracks:
  • Control and Energy Systems
  • Learning (AI/ML and Statistics)
