Updates:

30 April

We are now reaching 500 participants! Thank you very much for your interest in and support of CHEP 2026. We also extend our sincere thanks to your universities, research institutes, companies, and funding agencies for supporting your participation.

We would like to share a few updates:

(1) Opening Ceremony Survey
We are deeply honored that HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will join us for the first session on Monday, May 25, 2026.

If you wish to attend the opening ceremony, please complete the survey by Monday, May 18. You can find it under “Survey” → “Opening Ceremony” in Indico.

Due to security requirements, we must collect participant information for coordination with the immigration authorities and the Palace Office. On-site registration will not be accepted.

Further details are available here.

(2) Food & Beverage Menu
In response to dietary considerations, we have published the Food & Beverage Menu in advance.

(3) Payment Status
We are close to completing the verification of all payments, with only a few cases still being followed up with the bank. If you have completed the process on your side, please do not worry.

For those planning to pay on-site, we will provide further instructions shortly.

For new payments, the payment portal remains open. After completing your payment, please kindly contact the LOC to help us expedite the verification process.

Regarding receipts, we have started processing them and will provide further updates soon.

(4) Contribution (Talk/Poster) Preparation
Please refer to the guidelines here.

If you plan to print your poster in Thailand, there are several shops in MBK (about a 5-minute walk from the University) that are open on Sunday. See one of the print shop locations in the above guideline. Posters will remain on display throughout the conference, so please ensure they are ready for mounting by Monday at noon. The detailed poster presentation schedule will be shared soon.

We look forward to welcoming you in Bangkok in less than a month.

Payment and Receipt Update

+ Credit Card:
If you are still experiencing issues with credit card payments, one suggestion that has worked for several participants is to avoid networks with 2FA restrictions (e.g., try using your home internet or a mobile network). This has helped in several cases, particularly for US-based payments. If the issue persists, please contact the LOC. On-site payment by credit card will also be available.

+ Bank Transfer:
We currently have around 20 payments pending confirmation, particularly for transfers made between March 26–31 and after April 16. We are in contact with the bank to retrieve missing information and will update the status as soon as the payments are identified. Currently, your registration is approved, with a note on the organizer side pending payment confirmation.

+ Receipts:
Receipts will normally be provided during the conference. However, if you require a receipt in advance or need to add some specific information, such as a VAT number, we can arrange this. Please complete the Receipt survey under the “Survey” section in the left menu.

12 April Happy Songkran (Thai New Year)! We will resume operations on April 17. For urgent matters, please ping Phat (use the LOC email is OK). 
5 April + Given the current travel situation, we are happy to extend the early-bird rate until the end of the registration period. We hope this helps you save some costs.

+ Invitation and visa support letters have currently been issued up to registration ID 554.
If you have not yet received your letter, or if you require any additional documents, please contact the LOC by email.


+ If you are unable to participate in the conference and would like to transfer your contribution (talk or poster), please contact the CHEP PC and your track conveners as soon as possible.
We kindly ask that speaker updates be completed by April 24. For posters, we will assign specific presentation slots. With updated information, we can avoid scheduling the same person for multiple posters within the same time slot.

It is important to note that if you are not listed on any abstracts and don't use an institutional email address (University or research institute), the LOC can't issue you an invitation letter. 

Regarding the visa application letter, we will provide it only for participants whose nationalities are not eligible for visa exemption when entering Thailand. Please check the details at the Thai Embassy in your country or the visa information page here.

The LOC is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East. For participants traveling from EU countries, we recommend taking a direct flight from a major European city to Bangkok. For those traveling from the United States, you may choose to fly either over the Pacific (maybe with a connection in Japan, China, Taiwan, or Korea) or over the Atlantic (with a connection in a major European city).

 

The Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP) is a long-standing conference series that began in 1985. It addresses computing, networking, and software challenges for the world’s leading data-intensive scientific experiments, which currently analyze hundreds of petabytes of data using globally distributed resources. CHEP offers a unique platform for particle and nuclear physics computing experts to come together, share experiences, and learn from one another. The conference typically attracts over 500 participants from around the world.

The focus of CHEP evolves over time to reflect advances in technology and the changing needs of scientific research. In 2026, CHEP will take place during the final week of Run 3 operations at the LHC. As the community prepares for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), the conference will cover a wide range of emerging topics in both infrastructure and software. Reflecting broader trends, CHEP 2026 will also include sessions on sustainable computing, such as green data centers, energy consumption, and the role of AI/ML in operations.

Although the name CHEP refers to High Energy and Nuclear Physics, the conference welcomes contributions from a wide range of data-intensive scientific disciplines. It provides an excellent opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange, including -but not limited to- topics in big data applications for astronomy, biology, medicine, and quantum computing. Experiences and contributions from High Performance Computing (HPC) centers are also highly welcomed, especially where they intersect with challenges in large-scale data processing, simulation, and infrastructure design.

The conference program features plenary talks, parallel sessions, and poster presentations. Peer-reviewed proceedings are published following the event. The nine parallel session tracks are designed to encourage deep technical discussions and community engagement across specific domains:

  • Track 1 – Data and Metadata Organization, Management, and Access
  • Track 2 – Online and Real-time Computing
  • Track 3 – Offline Data Processing
  • Track 4 – Distributed Computing
  • Track 5 – Event Generation and Simulation
  • Track 6 – Software Environment and Maintainability
  • Track 7 – Computing Infrastructure and Sustainability
  • Track 8 – Analysis Infrastructure, Outreach, and Education
  • Track 9 – Analysis Software and Workflows

The CHEP 2026 organizers are committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and diverse environment. We warmly welcome full participation from the entire community and strongly encourage students, early-career researchers, and underrepresented groups to attend and contribute.

CHEP 2026 will be hosted by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, from 25 to 29 May 2026.
