The 2015 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC) will be held in Ottawa, Canada, from May 31 to June 4, 2015. The conference theme is “supporting communities toward resilience.” The conference will focus on two key areas: humanitarian applications of technologies in disaster mitigation, relief, and recovery; and empowering communities to overcome adversity and achieve sustainable development.

The conference will feature outstanding keynote speakers, workshops, a student paper competition, and peer-reviewed papers. Technology-oriented papers and papers describing social and economic factors related to humanitarian technology implementation are being solicited for the conference.
