The 2026 Conference on Complex Systems, a flagship international conference of the Complex Systems Society, will be held in Binghamton, New York, USA in October 2026. Binghamton possesses a long history of creativity and innovation. The Greater Binghamton area has historically been regarded as "the Valley of Opportunity", attracting influxes of immigrants (especially from Europe) since the mid-1800s, which has contributed to the region's rich and diverse culture and demographics. It is the birthplace of IBM (International Business Machines), Link Flight Simulator, McIntosh Laboratory, and a number of other pioneering ventures, fostering a spirit of ingenuity that continues to thrive. Located at the confluence of the Susquehanna river (one of the oldest rivers in the world) and the Chenango river, the region boasts stunning natural beauty and offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, from hiking and biking to fishing and kayaking. In particular, in mid-October, when CCS 2026 is held, one can witness the Binghamton area’s renowned and breathtaking fall foliage. Furthermore, a vibrant arts and culture scene flourishes here, with numerous galleries, theaters, and music venues providing enriching experiences. CCS 2026 will be held primarily in person on the main campus of Binghamton University, with an online participation option via Zoom.
