The conference is organized by the IFIP TC14 Entertainment Computing Technical Committee. IFIP ICEC is one of the longest-running, most prestigious scientific conferences in the field of Entertainment Computing, bringing together practitioners, researchers, artists, designers, and industry professionals focused on the creation, development, and application of digital entertainment content and experience systems. It covers a wide range of research areas, including interactive art, game-based learning, XR technologies, and the ethical implications of entertainment.

Authors may submit Full Papers to the prestigious Entertainment Computing journal or the Full Paper conference track.
