CITES 2026 proposals for Special Sessions should fall within the technical scope of the conference. Special Sessions serve as an important supplement to the regular program, aiming to showcase state-of-the-art research from academia and industry on specialized, innovative, challenging, and emerging topics. Proposals should be submitted by the prospective organizer(s), who are expected to serve as the Chair or Co-Chair and take responsibility for the overall organization of the session, including promotion, coordination of submissions, and management of the review process. Each Special Session is scheduled for 2 hours and typically accommodates 6–10 oral presentations; if the number of accepted contributions exceeds the available capacity, some presentations may be arranged as posters. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings and submitted to relevant databases in accordance with the conference policy.
