JANUARY 2022
IEEE Radio & Wireless Week, 16 - 19 January 2022, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Held as an in-person event.
The annual IEEE Radio Wireless Week consists of five co-located topical conferences:
- RWS: IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium
- PAWR: IEEE Topical Meeting on Power Amplifiers for Wireless and Radio Applications
- SiRF: IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems
- TWIOS: IEEE Topical Workshop on the Internet of Space (IoS)
- WiSNet: IEEE Topical Meeting on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks
Rather than trying to keep track of five web sites, you can learn about all the conferences on Radio Wireless Week's web page.
Terahertz, RF, Millimeter, and Submillimeter-Wave Technology and Applications IX, 22-27 January 2022, San Francisco, California, USA
Held as an in-person event, but the presentations were recorded and are available on their website.
This event is part of the much larger Photonics West conference put on by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics.

FEBRUARY 2022
European Microwave Week "2021", April 2 - 7, 2022, London, UK
Held as an in-person event .
The best boondoggle is of course EuMW. Get your passport ready, and get away from Starbucks, TGI Friday's, Chipotle, Comfort Inn and all the other crap venues in the New World wasteland! EuMW is actually four conferences on different microwave topics, including wireless, radar, and integrated circuits. The 2021 event got postponed to April of 2022, but they are also hosting an official 2022 event in September 2022.

European Microwave Week 2022
IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference, 20- 24 February 2022, San Francisco, California, USA
This was held as a virtual event.
From their web site:
Traditional computing solutions tend to be very vertically oriented. The cloud brings the promise of many benefits such as flexible computing power, shared software applications, and centralized databases. Solutions for bridging the gaps in the cloud will need to evolve from the technologies and systems we have today. New approaches to sharing networks, infrastructure and data storage will be required, as will new approaches to securing these shared resources. These solutions will challenge systems designers to consider new system architectures and will also require advances in circuit and technology.
IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference - (ISSCC)
MARCH 2022
GOMACTech, 21 - 24 March 2022, Miami, Florida, USA
Held as an in-person event
Possibly the coolest symposium for defense types, the Government Microcircuit Applications and Critical Technologies Conference audience is restricted to U.S. citizens only. In 2014, Charleston was great, if you don't mind eating barbecue twice a day. In 2015 it was held in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2016 it moved to Orlando. GOMACTech is always held at a hotel that can meet government per diem rates, which explains why it has been held at Bally's Casino in Las Vegas several times, and Reno in 2017. Don't expect it to be held at a waterfront property in Boston!

IMAPS packaging conference, 7 - 10 March 2022, Fountain Hills, Arizona
This conference was held as an in-person event.
This is the 18th year of the IMAPS device packaging conference. It's held at a resort in Arizona, bring your golf shoes and "go green" and rent some sticks. If you're on government per diem, you'll be purchasing your own meals! The "M" in IMAPS should stand for "marketing", this is not an IEEE-type event. But if you happend to be looking to buy some packaging, they've got you covered! In addition to the requisite supplier exhibition, IMAPS provides processional development courses, the day before the conference starts.
IMAPS Device Packaging Conference
IEEE Radar Conference, 21 - 25 March 2022, New York City, New York, USA
RadarConf 2022 was held as a combined event with both in-person and virtual components.
RadarConf is co-sponsored by IEEE Region 1 (the northeast part of the United States) and the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society. It was held in New York City for the first time this year.
IEEE RadarConf 2022
APRIL 2022
ARMMS Microwave conference, 23 - 25 April, Thame, England
To be held as an in-person event.
The Automated RF and Microwave Measurement Society has a conference twice a year in the U.K., once in April and once in November. Approximately 15 papers are presented over a two-day period. ARMMS provides past papers on their web site for downloading. From their web site:
The original aims of the society have expanded over the years as instrumentation has become more automated and we now cover diverse topics in Radio and Radar design and test, metrology, medical, materials testing etc.
ARMMS Microwave conference
Components for Military & Space Electronics (CMSE) Conference & Exhibition, 25 - 29 April 2022,
As it was in 2021, this event will be all virtual in 2022.
This three-day conference includes over 25 technical presentations and a full day of cutting edge industry tutorials from experts in the field along with keynote talks from technical leaders at NASA and USAF SMC. CMSE is the most comprehensive conference addressing successful practices for the use of both military and COTS components in military and space systems. Personnel working in this field are encouraged to attend this event conveniently hosted at Four Points by Sheraton LAX, CA.
CMSE
MAY 2022
CS MANTECH, 9 - 12 May 2022, Monterey, California, USA
This will be an in-person event.
Here's their mission statement (we copied from their website!)
CS MANTECH is a not-for-profit organization whose focus is to provide a forum for members of the compound semiconductor community to exchange and discuss new ideas to better serve the public in general.
CS MANTECH, "CS" meaning compound semi, was once called GaAs MANTECH. This organization posts their material on line for free downloading, so you can learn what your competitors are bragging about by perusing abstracts from prior years.

JUNE 2022
IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium, 19-24 June 2022, Denver, Colorado, USA
IMS 2022 is being planned as an in-person event.
This conference IMS is the biggest annual meeting by far of microwave types, it runs concurrently with IEEE's RFIC Symposium. It also has the distinction of being the only microwave industry event where Microwaves101 staffs a booth in their exhibit hall. Come on out to see us!
