The IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium (IMS) is the premier annual international meeting for technologists involved in all aspects of microwave theory and practice. 

IMS2020 is transitioning to a virtual event that will take place in August 2020. The 2020 organizers have made this difficult decision after careful consultation and review with government authorities, partners and venues due to COVID-19.

The virtual event will continue with the theme of ‘Connectivity Matters,’ built on five pillars that link the world: 5G & 6G networks, aerospace and defense programs, autonomous vehicles, the digital economy, and ensuring the connection of under-represented communities. While IMS2020’s program will be amended slightly to accommodate the virtual conference, the event will still feature Technical Sessions, Technical Lectures, Panel Sessions, 5G Summit, Industry Workshops, MicroApps and a Virtual Exhibition.
