Golden Jubilee Celebration of the 50th International Conference and Expo on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC 2026)

Plan to join us for the 50^th anniversary of the renowned International Conference and Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC 2026) in Daytona Beach, Florida. Since its inception in 1977, this prestigious conference has been organized by the Engineering Ceramics Division (ECD) of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS). Over the years, the conference has experienced tremendous growth in interest and participation from researchers, educators, technology developers, manufacturers, and end users from all over the world.

The 50th ICACC will once again provide a platform for the state-of-the-art presentations and information exchange on the cutting-edge ceramic and composite technologies.

Breaking News Poster Session

For ICACC, presenters who missed the original abstract deadline have the opportunity to submit a poster abstract by December 15, 2025. All posters abstracts submitted by December 15, 2025 will be included in the ICACC Poster Session.

If you missed the original submission deadline and would like to submit a poster abstract, please contact Karen McCurdy at kmccurdy@ceramics.org to have the submission site opened for you. You will have 72 hours to upload your submission once the site is opened. No abstracts will be accepted after December 15, 2025.

Here are a couple of great options for publishing!

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering and Science (IJCES) is the ACerS-approved open access journal for ceramic science and ceramic engineering research. This ceramics journal is broad in scope and publishes peer reviewed sound papers across all aspects of ceramic and glass materials, including regular research articles, preliminary work, opinion/perspective papers (invited), and reviews.

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology (ACT) publishes applied research on how ceramics and composites are developed for use in the commercial world. This ceramic engineering journal focuses on the commercialization of engineered ceramics, products and processes.
