The International Conference on Future Technologies (ICFT 2026) is a premier international forum hosted by the German Jordanian University (GJU) in Amman, Jordan, bringing together leading researchers, innovators, industry experts, and policy stakeholders to shape the next era of engineering and digital transformation.
ICFT 2026 is designed to highlight breakthrough research and impactful technologies across diverse areas, including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, IoT and Cybersecurity, FinTech and Digital Transformation, Health Informatics and Digital Health, and Smart Grids and Intelligent Energy Systems. The conference promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and emphasizes solutions that drive measurable progress in real-world environments toward smarter, safer, and more sustainable societies.
By serving as IEEE platform that bridges high-quality academic research with real-world applications, ICFT 2026 strengthens Jordan’s role as an emerging hub for future technologies in the MENA region, aligned with international scientific standards and global innovation trends. The conference welcomes original contributions that advance the state of the art, stimulate scientific dialogue, and enable stronger connections between academia and industry.
Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and indexed in Scopus, subject to IEEE quality requirements. In addition, selected high-quality papers will be invited to submit extended versions for consideration in Q1-ranked journals.
We warmly invite researchers, practitioners, and innovators worldwide to join us in Amman for ICFT 2026, where ideas become technologies, and technologies shape the future.

ICFT 2026 – CMT Submission Guide for Tutorials
Purpose: This guide explains what to prepare and how to submit (via Microsoft CMT) tutorial proposals for ICFT 2026.
Tutorials – What to submit
Tutorial proposals are submitted in CMT under the track: Tutorials. You can upload 1–3 files (doc/docx/pdf), up to 10 MB each, then answer the tutorial questions in the form.
What to prepare before opening CMT
- A detailed outline with timing (half-day 3 hours or full-day 6 hours).
- Optional supporting material: slides outline, demo screenshots, dataset/software links, or prior delivery evidence.
- Your CMT tutorial form already contains the evaluation-relevant questions. Use the structure below in your uploaded proposal document so the answers are easy to find:
| CMT Question / Field | What reviewers expect to see |
|---|---|
| Tutorial Title | Clear, concise, descriptive. |
| Tutorial Type | Half-Day (3 hours) or Full-Day (6 hours). |
| Presenter Information | Names, affiliations, emails, and 150–200-word bios. |
| Tutorial Abstract (250–300 words) | Motivation, scope, relevance, expected outcomes. |
| Learning Objectives | 3–5 measurable outcomes (e.g., "participants will be able to…"). |
| Target Audience & Prerequisites | Who it is for and the required background. |
| Detailed Outline & Schedule | Timed agenda; include breaks; show hands-on vs lecture time. |
| Content & Delivery Style | Methods, tools, demos, exercises, software, and datasets. |
| Relevance to ICFT 2026 | State which ICFT core tracks it aligns with. |
| Previous Delivery (optional) | Where/when it was delivered and attendance (if applicable). |
| Additional Information (optional) | Industry involvement, open-source repo, benchmark/challenge tie-in, etc. |
Step-by-step: Submit a tutorial proposal in Microsoft CMT
- Log in to Microsoft CMT for ICFT 2026.Microsoft CMT
- Click "Create New Submission".
- Select Track: Tutorials.
- Fill in "Title" and "Abstract" (this is the submission-level metadata).
- Add co-authors / co-presenters in the Authors section (add at least the main presenters).
- Upload your proposal document under Files (1–3 files; prefer a single .docx proposal; optional 1–2 appendices).
- Complete the "Additional Questions" (Tutorial Title, Type, Presenter Info, Abstract, Objectives, Audience, Outline, Delivery Style, Relevance, etc.).
- Save and "Submit" (ensure the status indicates the submission is complete).
Tip: Keep the uploaded proposal and the Additional Questions consistent. Reviewers typically rely on both.
How tutorials are judged (recommended criteria)
- Relevance to ICFT 2026 tracks but not limited to.
- Clarity of learning objectives and outcomes.
- Appropriate technical depth for the target audience, with clear prerequisites.
- Quality and feasibility of the outline (timing, balance, hands-on components).
- Presenter expertise and ability to deliver (bio evidence, past tutorials if available).
- Practical value: tools, demos, datasets, reproducible materials.
ICFT 2026 – CMT Submission Guide for Special Sessions
Purpose: This guide explains what to prepare and how to submit (via Microsoft CMT) special sessions proposals for ICFT 2026.
Special Sessions – What to submit
Special Session proposals are submitted in CMT under the track: Special Sessions. We recommend a concise PDF (~2 pages) that includes enough detail for fair evaluation.
Special Session proposal format (recommended ~2 pages PDF)
- Special Session Title + Acronym (if any)
- Organizers (names, affiliations, emails) + short organizer bios (3–5 lines each)
- Motivation and timeliness (why now; what gap it fills)
- Scope and topics (bullet list of themes; include "in scope" and optionally "out of scope")
- Format plan (e.g., 4–6 invited talks + panel/Q&A; or mixed invited + contributed papers)
- Tentative speaker list (if confirmed) OR a plan to recruit speakers (if "TBA")
- Expected audience and impact (research + industry; community-building goals)
- Relevance to ICFT 2026 tracks (explicit mapping to 1–2 core tracks)
- Session logistics (estimated duration, equipment needs, hybrid needs if any)
- Diversity and balance plan (geography, gender, academia/industry), where feasible
Step-by-step: submit a Special Session proposal in Microsoft CMT
- Log in to Microsoft CMT for ICFT 2026. Microsoft CMT
- Click "Create New Submission".
- Select Track: Special Sessions.
- Enter a clear Title and a short Abstract that summarizes the theme and format.
- Add the organizer team as authors (at least the main organizers).
- Upload the proposal as a single PDF (recommended ~2 pages). You may upload up to 3 files if you have an appendix.
- Submit and confirm that the submission is marked complete.
How special sessions are judged (recommended criteria)
- Fit with ICFT 2026 themes and clear differentiation from the main tracks.
- Timeliness and technical relevance (why this session matters now).
- Quality of organizer team and feasibility to execute (clear plan, realistic format).
- Breadth and community value (brings people together; interdisciplinary if relevant).
- Speaker/participation plan (confirmed speakers OR credible recruitment plan).
- Expected attendance and impact (research + industry engagement).
- Clarity and completeness of the proposal (easy to evaluate fairly).
