About the Conference
3rd Insight International Research Conference 2026 (IIRC2026)
On "Trends in Sustainable Technology: Opportunities and Challenges"
About the Conference
In our increasingly interconnected and digital world, technology, especially Information and Communication Technology (ICT), has become an indispensable tool for shaping the course of economic development. This conference aims to provide a platform for experts, scholars, and practitioners from diverse fields to converge and deliberate on the transformative potential of technology in fostering sustainable development globally. By exploring innovative applications, discussing policy implications, and sharing success stories, this conference seeks to not only showcase the pivotal role of technology in driving progress but also to identify opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange that can propel our nation towards a brighter and more digitally empowered future.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. At its core are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries developed and developing in a global partnership (sdgs.un.org/goals). As the world navigates complex challenges and opportunities, harnessing the power of technology is paramount in achieving inclusive, prosperous and sustainable development, making this conference an invaluable forum for advancing collective understanding and action in this crucial domain.
In this context, the Insight Institute of Management and Technology considers hosting its third Research Conference, Insight International Research Conference 2026 (IIRC2026) on “Trends in Sustainable Technology: Opportunities and Challenges” a timely and imperative endeavour.
The Conference will be conducted on a hybrid mode with the Inaugural sessions conducted at the Insight Technology Campus, Mawanella and online where guests and participants will interact virtually in a Google Meet platform. The conference language will be English.
Conference registration and participation are free with timely registration.
