IEEE Haptics Symposium features a diverse technical and social program to present your latest research and engage with the haptics community.

The 2026 conference will be held at the Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel & Spa in Reno, Nevada, a vibrant and walkable city nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Located along the scenic Truckee River, the venue offers stylish accommodations and stunning views with easy access to both urban amenities and outdoor adventure. Reno is a dynamic destination known for its thriving arts scene, revitalized riverfront, and diverse dining options. Just a short drive from Lake Tahoe and world-class ski resorts, attendees can take advantage of the late March timing to enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and other mountain activities. The nearby lake region also offers breathtaking alpine scenery, charming towns, and opportunities for relaxation or exploration. Reno is easily accessible via Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), just minutes from the conference hotel.
