CHEP 2026
Project Snapshot
A returning CHEP partner — fourth supported edition
CHEP 2026 is the 28th edition of the worldwide Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics. It is hosted by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok and chaired by Phat Srimanobhas. The programme spans plenary lectures, nine parallel tracks (data management, online and real-time computing, offline processing, distributed computing, simulation, software, infrastructure, workflows, and outreach), and poster presentations, with contributions feeding peer-reviewed proceedings published after the event.
HEPCon has supported CHEP across three previous editions: Sofia (2018, 575 attendees), Adelaide (2019, 550 attendees), and Norfolk VA (2023, 600 attendees, 13 tracks). The 2026 deployment continues that pattern: one Indico sync, no duplicate programme management for the LOC.
Programme angle: sustainable computing and interdisciplinary scope
CHEP 2026 lands during the final week of Run 3 operations at the LHC. Beyond the core HL-LHC computing preparation, the 2026 edition introduces dedicated emphasis areas: sustainable computing (green data centres, energy consumption, and the role of AI/ML in operations) and interdisciplinary exchange (astronomy, biology, medicine, and quantum computing alongside the HEP programme).
Indico sync for a nine-track parallel programme
CHEP's programme is managed in CERN Indico. HEPCon ingests the timetable, speakers, abstracts, room assignments, and track structure directly. The Bangkok LOC continues editing in Indico as usual; the app reflects every update without manual intervention.
Track navigation for nine parallel streams
With nine parallel tracks running concurrently, attendees need a fast way to filter by topic and to manage a personal schedule. HEPCon applies distinct colour coding to each track in the timetable view, supports semantic search across the abstract base, and lets attendees star sessions into a personal favourites list with reminders five minutes before each.
Offline-first across a university campus
Chulalongkorn University hosts parallel sessions across multiple buildings. HEPCon caches the full programme on each attendee's device on first open, so session details, abstracts, and room assignments remain accessible while moving across the campus without depending on venue Wi-Fi.
The Challenge
- • Continue the CHEP series support track record after Sofia, Adelaide, and Norfolk editions
- • Navigate nine parallel tracks with personal scheduling and reminders
- • Sync directly from CERN Indico with no manual programme rebuild
- • Provide offline-first agenda across a multi-building university venue
- • Surface CHEP 2026's new sustainable-computing and interdisciplinary track emphasis
The Solution
HEPCon syncs the CHEP 2026 programme from CERN Indico. Attendees receive an offline-first agenda with personal favourites, push notifications for room changes, distinct colour coding per parallel track, and semantic abstract search across the five-day programme at Chulalongkorn University.
The Results
- Fourth consecutive CHEP edition supported by HEPCon (after Sofia 2018, Adelaide 2019, Norfolk 2023)
- Full programme delivered offline to attendee devices across Chulalongkorn University
- Nine parallel tracks surfaced with distinct colour coding and per-track filters
