Chii 2026 - our biggest Conference

From our perspective, chii2026 is more than just a conference – it is a meeting point for a fast-growing community that is shaping the future of hyperspectral imaging across Europe. We are thrilled to invite you to chii2026 – the Conference on Hyperspectral Imaging in Industry May 20th/21st 2026 in Graz/Austria, where innovation, application, and collaboration come together over two inspiring days.

At chii2026, we bring together thought leaders, technology pioneers, and enthusiastic practitioners from photonics, vision, and AI to explore how hyperspectral imaging is transforming industrial, biomedical, and defence applications. Whether you are developing advanced sensors, designing complete systems, or deploying hyperspectral solutions in real-world environments, this is the place where ideas turn into impact.

Expect an intense and inspiring programme packed with 42 presentations across 7 sessions, 3 high-level keynotes, 7 structured matchmaking sessions, a partner exhibition, and a memorable evening event with dinner and music. The technical programme spans the full spectrum—from fundamental principles and component technologies to AI-driven data analytics and real deployment scenarios in areas such as recycling, agriculture, healthcare, smart manufacturing, and security.

What makes chii2026 truly special is its atmosphere. This is a conference designed for exchange. You will meet experts who are pushing the boundaries of hyperspectral imaging, connect with potential partners and customers, and gain insights you can directly apply to your own projects. Live discussions, demonstrations, and matchmaking sessions ensure that conversations don’t stop at theory but lead to real collaboration.

From a SpectroNet perspective, chii2026 is also about building community. It is a place to strengthen your network, increase your visibility, and position your organization at the forefront of a rapidly evolving technology field. Businesses can showcase their solutions in the exhibition area directly integrated into the conference space, while researchers and developers gain direct access to industrial needs and decision-makers.

And yes—chii2026 will be fun. We are bringing the hyperspectral imaging family together, creating space to step away from everyday routines, enjoy great conversations, and celebrate shared passion for technology and innovation. The exclusive conference dinner, included in every full conference pass, is the perfect setting to continue discussions in a relaxed and inspiring environment.

With attractive ticket options—from regular and member passes to student, speaker, and exhibitor tickets—chii2026 is accessible to everyone who wants to be part of the next generation of hyperspectral imaging. All passes include full access to both conference days, presentations and keynotes, matchmaking sessions, catering, online access to the presentations, and a personal certificate of participation.

From fundamental research to industrial deployment, chii2026 highlights how hyperspectral imaging is driving innovation, sustainability, and competitiveness across Europe’s high-tech industries.

We at SpectroNet truly believe: if hyperspectral imaging matters to your work, chii2026 is where you need to be.
