BalkanCom is a premier technical conference in communications and networking in the Balkan region. The goal of BalkanCom is to bring together researchers from academia, research labs and industry from all over the world to the geographical and historical region of the Balkans. BalkanCom 2025, with the theme AI-enabled Fluid Connectivity continues the best tradition of scientific conferences of being completely not for profit. The eighth edition of the conference, sponsored by IEEE ComSoc, will take place on 17-20 June 2025 in Piraeus, Greece.
