ISBA2026 will be the 18th conference in the series of biennial ISBA World Meetings. It will bring together the international community of researchers and practitioners who develop and use Bayesian statistical methods to share recent findings, exchange ideas, and discuss new challenges.

ISBA World Meetings are known for attracting both established and early-career researchers and for placing special emphasis on promoting the work of early-career researchers. We anticipate that ISBA2026 will continue this tradition, resulting in a conference that brings together the world’s best Bayesian researchers, building and strengthening ties between them, and fostering new collaborative relationships. We expect between 600 and 700 researchers will attend the conference, which will feature several plenary speakers, invited and contributed talks, and multiple poster sessions.
