IMS2026 is underway in Boston, bringing together the global RF, microwave, and wireless technology community for a week of technical innovation, industry collaboration, and product discovery. This year's event debuts a refreshed symposium structure, featuring the RF Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium alongside the new RF Technology & Techniques (RFTT) and RF Systems & Applications (RFSA) Symposia, reflecting the industry's growing emphasis on both foundational technologies and real-world system applications.
Today marks the opening of the IMS exhibition, where thousands of engineers, researchers, and industry leaders will explore the latest advances in RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, radar, wireless communications, semiconductor technologies, measurement systems, and emerging 6G applications. More than 8,000 attendees from around the world are expected to participate throughout the week, with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing new products, demonstrations, and technical solutions.
The exhibition floor opens this morning and will feature a range of new attractions, including the Startup Pavilion, Radar Sensor Pavilion, Communication Pavilion, MicroApps Theater, Student Design Competition, and Interactive Forum. These programs are designed to foster networking, technology transfer, and collaboration between industry, academia, government laboratories, and emerging companies.
As technical sessions continue across the RFIC, RFTT, and RFSA tracks, attendees can expect a packed agenda of presentations, workshops, and discussions focused on the technologies shaping the future of wireless connectivity, aerospace and defense systems, advanced semiconductor design, and next-generation communications. Day one sets the stage for a week dedicated to what IMS2026 calls "Revolutionizing RF."
