The 19th International Conference on Social Computing and Networking
( SocialCom 2026)

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

27 December 2026 – 02 January 2027

Join us at the 19th International Conference on Social Computing and Networking ( SocialCom 2026)

The 19th International Conference on Social Computing and Networking (SocialCom 2026) will take place in Shenyang, a bustling city in northeastern China that combines rich historical heritage with modern innovation. The conference will delve into the evolving relationship between social behavior and computing technologies, highlighting how digital platforms shape social conventions and interactions. Social computing applications such as blogs, social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), instant messaging, wikis, and social bookmarking have become integral to everyday life, reshaping communication and societal norms while driving technological progress. While these platforms offer benefits like enhanced connectivity and convenience, they also raise critical concerns about privacy, trust, HCI design, and the computational modeling of human behavior.

SocialCom 2026 will serve as a premier venue for researchers, industry professionals, and experts to discuss the latest breakthroughs in social computing and networking, as well as to explore emerging trends and challenges in the field.
