CHEP 2026
The fourth CHEP in the app, after Sofia, Adelaide and Norfolk: 596 contributions in 94 sessions across nine parallel tracks, synced from CERN Indico through the conference week.
Project Snapshot
A returning CHEP partner — fourth supported edition
CHEP 2026 was the 28th edition of the worldwide Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics, hosted by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok and chaired by Phat Srimanobhas. The programme spanned plenary lectures, nine parallel tracks (data management, online and real-time computing, offline processing, distributed computing, simulation, software, infrastructure, workflows, and outreach), and 138 poster presentations, with contributions feeding peer-reviewed proceedings published after the event.
HEPCon had 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 continued that pattern: one Indico sync, no duplicate programme management for the LOC.
Programme angle: sustainable computing and interdisciplinary scope
CHEP 2026 landed during the final week of Run 3 operations at the LHC. Beyond the core HL-LHC computing preparation, the 2026 edition introduced 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 was managed in CERN Indico. HEPCon synced the timetable, speakers, abstracts, room assignments, and track structure directly: 596 contributions in 94 sessions on the final programme. The Bangkok LOC kept editing in Indico as usual, and the app reflected every update without manual intervention.
Track navigation for nine parallel streams
With nine parallel tracks running concurrently, attendees needed a fast way to filter by topic and to manage a personal schedule. HEPCon colour-coded each track in the timetable view, searched across the abstracts, and let attendees save talks into a personal schedule with reminders before each.
Offline-first across a university campus
Chulalongkorn University hosted parallel sessions across multiple buildings. HEPCon cached the full programme on each attendee's device on first open, so session details, abstracts, and room assignments stayed 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 synced the CHEP 2026 programme from CERN Indico. Attendees got an offline-first agenda with personal favourites, push notifications for room changes, distinct colour coding per parallel track, and search across the abstracts of the five-day programme at Chulalongkorn University.
The Results
- Fourth consecutive CHEP edition in the app (after Sofia 2018, Adelaide 2019, Norfolk 2023)
- 596 contributions in 94 sessions, 138 of them posters, synced from CERN Indico and delivered offline across the Chulalongkorn campus
- Nine parallel tracks surfaced with distinct colour coding and per-track filters
