IEEE MTT-S will be hosting the 2020 edition of the International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2020) and Microwave Week from August 4-6, 2020. The event will be held virtually because of the on-going covid-19 pandemic.
IMS 2020 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 - and feature keynote speakers from industry leaders such as Samsung, Google, California Institute of Technology, and the Telecommunication Development Bureau of the International Telecommunication Union.
Below is the program schedule for the event.
