The RF Revolution is Coming to Boston

IMS kicks off with the IEEE MTT-S RF Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium, followed by two new symposia formed out of traditional IMS technical content — the IEEE MTT-S RF Systems & Applications (RFSA) Symposium and the IEEE MTT-S RF Technology & Techniques (RFTT) Symposium — and concludes with the ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference.

Why You Should Be at IMS2026

It’s the inaugural year of our new program structure, which ensures a home for engineers focused on systems-level integration, applications, and measurement — to complement IMS’s established strength in components and devices.

IMS2026 covers the full breadth of RF challenges and solutions to keep the field and your career moving forward.

Coming From Outside the U.S.?

We look forward to having you! Start your visa process by checking your passport’s expiration date to make sure it’s at least six months after IMS. Then you can get started on acquiring your visa (It’s never too early!). You can also check to see if you qualify for the Visa Waiver Program, which allows nationals from 42 countries to travel to the U.S. without a visa.
