IEEE is pleased to announce the Real-Time Communications Lab at IllinoisTech will host the annual Real-Time Communications (RTC) Conference and Expo at IIT – October 11 – 14, 2021. We are making tentative plans to return to Hermann Hall on the IIT main campus in Chicago, IL. For an in-person event, but will provide updates later in the year regarding conference format.

The RTC Conference at IIT is a globally recognized collaborative event where the interactive multimedia and real-time communications industries and academia connect. The conference brings together developers, technical professionals and business executives from industry, standards, policy, regulatory, and research, promoting an open exchange of ideas to lead future development in the rapidly changing field of real-time communications.

This year’s event promises to be the biggest and best to date! This is a multi-tracked conference that will run over three days, focusing on the major areas of:

• Internet of Things (IoT)
• WebRTC & CPaaS
• Next Generation Emergency Services
• Cloud Communications and Programmable Telecoms
• IPTComm – Juried research papers
• VoiceTech

The RTC Conference will once again feature peer-reviewed research papers as part of the IPTComm track. IPTComm brings together researchers from academia, industry and government to advance real-time IP communications. 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. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed and the proceedings will be archived on IEEE Xplore after the conference (pending final approval from IEEE). Submission details are available on the IPTComm website (http://iptcomm.org). The inclusion of the IPTComm conference offers our registrants, speakers, and sponsors the opportunity to attend two conferences in one, and builds on our unparalleled reputation for connecting industry thought leaders with academic researchers.

We’re excited to announce that this year’s conference is being sponsored by IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology. IEEE and its members inspire a global community to innovate for a better tomorrow through its more than 419,000 members in over 160 countries, and its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities. By partnering with IEEE, the RTC Conference and Expo at IIT expands on its reputation for delivering the broadest range of unbiased real-time communications content in one amazing event.

Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for these exciting events. In the meantime, stay tuned to our website and mailing lists for further updates or at:
