Keynote Lecturers

We are excited to announce the keynote speakers for ICCCM 2025! This year, in addition to featuring renowned scientists, we are proud to introduce, for the first time in ICCCM history, two Industry Keynote Lectures. This new addition aims to bridge the gap between research and industry, bringing cutting-edge research closer to the engineering software used in practice.
