The IEEE Chicago Section and the Real-Time Communications Lab at Illinois Tech are delighted to host the 21st annual Real-Time Communications (RTC) Conference and Expo at Illinois Tech from October 7-8, 2025.
This year the IEEE Communications Society’s Communications Quality and Reliability Technical Committee will hold its annual Workshop as a part of the RTC Conference. The workshop will be open to all conference registrants, allowing all attendees the benefit of the workshop’s 39 years of experience, speakers and patrons.
The RTC Conference at IIT is a globally recognized collaborative event where the interactive multimedia and real-time communications industries come together with the academic and research communities. This conference unites developers, technical professionals, and business executives from various sectors with researchers and students, fostering an open exchange of ideas to lead future development in the rapidly evolving field of real-time communications.
This year’s event promises to be particularly exciting as developers find ways to use AI/ML processes to enhance existing real time applications and to invent new services incorporating both technologies! This multi-tracked conference, held over an intense two days, will focus on major areas including the following:
- Big Data, IoT and AI in Real Time
- WebRTC & Real-Time Applications
- Next Generation Emergency Communications
- Programmable Real-Time Networks and Applications
- CQR: Communications quality and Reliability
- Voice Tech
- Research Track (juried papers)
Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for this exciting event. In the meantime, stay tuned to our website and mailing lists for further updates and follow us on social media.
