IMS2024 (www.ims-ieee.org) is the centerpiece of Microwave Week
2024, which includes the RFIC Symposium (www.rfic-ieee.org) and the
ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (www.arftg.org).
Microwave Week is the world’s largest gathering and industry exhibition
for MHz through THz professionals. IMS2024 will feature a far-reaching
Technical Program focused on Capitalizing Across the Spectrum — the
electromagnetic spectrum from RF-to-optical, the application spectrum
from commercial wireless to scientific sensing, and the human spectrum
encompassing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Microwave Week provides a
wide variety of technical and social activities for attendees and exhibitors.
In addition to the diverse choices in technical sessions, attendees can
explore interactive forums, plenary and panel sessions, workshops and
technical lectures, application seminars, and also participate in paper
contests for Students, Industry, and Young Professionals.
The location of IMS2024 is our nation’s capital, Washington D.C. The Walter
E. Washington Convention Center is located in downtown Washington D.C.,
near Chinatown and the city’s hip Shaw neighborhood which is known for its
lively social and restaurant scene. Washington is home to many famous
landmarks and historical sites such as the White House, the National Mall
with its famous monuments and memorials, the Smithsonian Institution —
the world’s largest museum complex, the National Zoo, and the Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts.
Washington D.C. is also home to many agencies and institutions that
oversee use of the electromagnetic spectrum. One of our conference themes
is to highlight advances in spectrum access and use, including coexistence,
sustainability and emerging future-G systems. Other themes will feature the
critical role of the RF-to-THz spectrum for aerospace and transportation,
national security, and radar. The central role that equity, inclusion and
diversity play across the spectrum of our community will be highlighted
throughout the week.
