Call For Papers

Join the 7th IEEE International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC) in Vancouver, BC, Canada from Aug. 5-8, 2025, for four days on the latest in flexible electronics technology, applications, breakthroughs, tutorials, short courses, and keynote presentations.

IEEE IFETC is dedicated to flexible electronics technologies for sensors, displays, wearable devices, and large area flexible and stretchable electronic systems. The growing field of flexible electronics is being continuously challenged by the growing demands for systems with better quality, adaptation to human body for health applications, lower cost, greener manufacturing, sustainability, durability, and mechanical stretchability. The field goes beyond flexible displays and wearable systems to all pervasive human-machine-environment interfaces, with major implications in communications, robotics, biomedical and health applications. The materials and manufacturing techniques at all levels have become increasingly critical for the electronics community to connect device technologies, advanced additive manufacturing, and circuits & systems. IFETC is the annual conference that presents a forum for engineers and scientists to get together and present the recent developments in technology development, device engineering, and systems integration.
