Deciding which of the hundreds of available tech conferences to attend can feel daunting. Understandably, you want every conference you participate in to be worthwhile. This includes providing you with an opportunity to learn from professionals, network with like-minded attendees, and enhance your knowledge in your field. Fortunately, most conferences in 2021 will remain virtual. This allows you to attend international events and tech conferences that you may not have been able to before! It also makes the competition even more fierce.
Although we wish you could attend ALL of the 200+ IEEE Computer Society tech conferences, we know that just isn’t realistic. So, here are our top conferences that you cannot afford to miss in 2021. From virtual reality to security and privacy, these tech conferences will leave you feeling confident and prepared.

IEEEVR has become the single, premier conference focusing on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces.
Beginning in 1993, the IEEE Virtual Reality conference began the leading international conference for search results in virtual reality. At the same time, the IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI), which began as an interactive workshop in 2004, became the primary conference for 3D user interfaces and 3D interaction in VR environments. In 2018, the two conferences merged into a single conference, resulting in IEEEVR.
IEEEVR presents revolutionary research and accomplishments by key VR innovators, including scientists, engineers, designers, artists, and beyond. The conference is globally recognized for introducing upcoming discoveries and improvements in VR, through presentations, networking, and workshops.
