the 20th anniversary of the conference series, NetSci 2026 will be hosted by Northeastern University’s Network Science Institute. The conference will take place at the Hyatt Regency from June 1-5, 2026. From its long history of community activism and revolution to its thriving academic and tech hubs, Boston embodies a spirit of progress and innovation. We look forward to gathering our community in a city known for its contributions to network science as well as its rich diversity, collaborative spirit, and legacy of tackling global challenges.
