The IIT RTC Conference and Expo – October 14 –16, 2019 on the IIT main campus in Chicago, IL, is a venue for connecting the future to today in real-time where thought leaders from industry and academia gather to discuss, debate and shape the future of the rapidly changing real-time communications field. Everyone living at the intersection of voice, video, messaging, mobility, the cloud, and the Web – technical developers, innovators, engineers, academic researchers, product managers, marketers, entrepreneurs – has things to learn, things to teach and people to meet at this conference. Take advantage of this opportunity to share your expertise with, and learn from, 200+ fellow real-time communications leaders from across the globe by proposing a presentation at this Fall’s conference!

We’re soliciting presentation proposals at the leading technical and business edge of how we think about, create, and implement real-time communications networks, services and applications. Presentations will be placed into the following conference tracks:

• WebRTC
• Internet of Things
• Programmable Telecom Networks
• Next Generation Emergency Communications
• TADSummit Americas

The IPTComm 2019 Conference is co-located with the RTC Conference and runs as a separate track within the larger conference. Acceptance of a paper in IPTComm and its presentation at the conference assures its publication in IEEE Xplore. For more information on submission to IPTComm please visit IPTComm Call For Papers.

Track abstracts and other related information can be found under the Program link on the conference website. To propose a presentation for this year’s conference, please provide a title, abstract, and brief presenter bio via the Propose a Talk link on our website.

The proposal deadline is July 1, 2019, but please make your proposals as early as possible to ensure a place on this year’s agenda! Presentation proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee as they are received. Ongoing notifications of acceptance will be made based on content, relevance, and speaker qualifications. Please note, our audience has high expectations! They expect our speakers will present meaningful, thought-leading content. Overt marketing pitches will not be accepted.

The IIT RTC Conference is a globally recognized collaborative event, where industry and academia connect. Leveraging its unique academic setting, this annual conference brings together technical professionals and business executives from the data and telecommunications industry, standards bodies, policy and regulatory institutions, and academic educators and researchers to promote an open exchange of ideas to lead future development in the rapidly changing field of real-time communications.

IPTComm brings together researchers from academia, industry and government to discuss challenges, share ideas, views, results and experiences in IP communications research and services. The conference addresses current topics such as programmable network services, internet of things, machine learning in interactive communications with focus on the reliability, security, privacy, performance and scalability, as well as on the applicability of these technologies for public-safety applications such as Next Generation 9-1-1. We invite paper submissions addressing theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and technological advancements.

IPTComm is hosted by the IIT Real-Time Communications (RTC) Conference, at the Chicago campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT).  In addition to hosting the IPTComm Research track, the RTC Conference will have tracks related to IoT, WebRTC, Programmable Telecom Networks, and NextGen Emergency Services, along with the co-located TAD Summit Americas. The demonstrations and presentations in these tracks will complement the material to be presented in the IPTComm track and serve as a source of new ideas and research partners in industry. The Call for Speakers for these remaining tracks will be issued in early Spring, and will be accessible via the Conference website.  

Papers accepted by IPTComm will be published in IEEE Xplore. The list of topics for IPTComm includes but is not limited to:
