  • TWO FULL-DAY WORKSHOPS - Purchase two full-day workshops and receive access to the electronic proceedings for all workshop days (Sunday and Monday). Important Note: Must select the Two Full-Day workshop option to receive this. Workshop electronic proceedings are not available for individual sale. All Workshop electronic proceedings are also included as part of the SuperPass registrations.
  • FULL-DAY AND HALF-DAY WORKSHOPS - The day of the workshop fee includes electronic proceedings for all the workshops being presented on the day, IMPORTANT NOTE: Workshop Notes will be provided electronically (via the "cloud") so that all workshop registrants may have the option of downloading and printing the notes on their own before traveling. Workshop electronic proceedings are NOT available for individual sale.
    • Full-day workshops include a morning refreshment break, lunch, and an afternoon refreshment break.
    • Morning workshops include a morning refreshment break and lunch.
    • Afternoon workshops include lunch and an afternoon refreshment break.​​
  • RF BOOTCAMP: This course will cover real-world, practical, modern design and engineering fundamentals needed by technicians, new engineers, engineers wanting a refresh, college students, as well marketing and sales professionals. Experts within industry and academia will share their knowledge of RF/Microwave systems basics, simulation and network design, network and spectrum analysis, and microwave antenna and radar basics. Attendees completing the course will earn two IEEE CEUs. The fee includes a morning refreshment break, lunch, and an afternoon refreshment break.
  • AI/ML BOOTCAMP: This course will present the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) for microwaves. The course is targeted to general audiences in the microwave community who are not necessarily experts in AI/ML and want to learn the basics of AI/ML. This includes engineers that are interested in using AI/ML for microwave applications, marketing and sales professionals who are interested in understanding the basics and relevance of AI/ML for microwaves, and university students who like to acquire the basic knowledge of AI/ML. The course will provide ample opportunities for audience interaction and Q&A. The fee includes a lunch, and an afternoon refreshment break.
  • QUANTUM BOOTCAMP: This course will provide an introduction to the basics of quantum engineering, targeting microwave engineers who want to understand how they can make an impact in this emerging field. The intended audience includes new engineers, engineers who may be changing their career path, marketing and sales professionals seeking a better understanding of quantum technology, as well as current university students looking to learn more about the practical aspects of Quantum technology. The format of the Quantum Boot Camp is like that of a short course, with speakers covering quantum engineering basics with a focus on the control and measurement of quantum systems and will conclude with a hands-on introduction to the design of superconducting qubits using modern microwave CAD tools. The fee includes a morning refreshment break and a lunch.
  • PHASED ARRAY BOOTCAMP: The Phased‑Array Boot Camp is new for 2026 and designed for RF, microwave and millimeter‑wave engineers. The session concentrates on how the analog waveforms generated by array antennas are captured, digitized and processed in today’s digital world. Rather than immersing participants in heavy mathematics, the boot camp offers an intuitive, system‑level view of the techniques that underpin modern beam control, including beam shaping, beam spoiling, null steering, interference mitigation and direction‑of‑arrival estimation. The fee includes a lunch, and an afternoon refreshment break.
  • INDUSTRY WORKSHOPS - Industry Workshops are 100 minute exhibitor-led presentations on in-depth technical topics in a workshop format off the exhibit floor. Industry Workshops offer practical training in areas that allow attendees to make immediate use of the materials presented. This year, IMS is offering Industry Workshops covering a wide range of relevant topics.

Extras:

  • MTT-S AWARDS BANQUET- The MTT-S Awards Banquet will be held on Wednesday, 10 June at the Westin. The evening will include fine dining, an awards presentation, and excellent entertainment. SuperPass registrations include 1 ticket to the MTT-S Awards Banquet. (Note: MTT-S Banquet is not included in a Student SuperPass)
  • BOXED LUNCHES - (Monday-Thursday) - Boxed lunches will be available for pre-order (Note: if you are signed up for a workshop or Bootcamp, lunch is included for that day)
