About

Since its inception, the International Conference on Drones and its Applications (IConDA) has established itself as a premier platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration among scientists, academicians, industry leaders, and policymakers in the field of computer and drone technologies and related applications. The first IConDA was successfully held at Damai Beach Resort on 9–11 November 2017, attracting 375 participants. Building on this success, the second IConDA took place at Kampus Samarahan 2, UiTM Sarawak on 19–21 December 2019, drawing more than 208 participants and reinforcing its reputation as a hub for innovation and networking. The momentum continued with the third IConDA in 2022, which featured expanded participation and enriched technical sessions, further cementing the conference’s role in advancing research and practical applications in computer and drone technologies.

To sustain this trajectory of excellence, the UiTM Sarawak is hosting the fourth IConDA on 28, 29 & 30 September 2026 in Kuching, Sarawak.

Situated on the northwest coast of Borneo, Kuching—the capital of Sarawak—stands at the forefront of Malaysia’s digital transformation, making it a compelling and strategic host city for IConDA 2026. Beyond its rich cultural heritage and modern infrastructure, Kuching is the epicenter of the Sarawak Digital Economy Blueprint 2030, a visionary plan launched to transform the state from a conventional resource‑based economy into an environmentally sustainable, technology‑driven powerhouse. The Blueprint aims to position Sarawak as a leading digital economy and society by 2030, emphasizing innovation, inclusivity, and environmentally responsible growth. This bold commitment to digital advancement—built upon initiatives encouraging new business models, fostering start‑ups, empowering communities with digital skills, and driving AI‑ and data‑powered development—aligns seamlessly with the conference’s focus on intelligent systems, robotics, and drone technologies. As such, Kuching offers not only an inspiring backdrop for academic and industry discourse but also a living example of a region actively shaping its digital future, making it the perfect venue for IConDA 2026.
