Student Volunteers

Experience IMS as an insider and get complimentary registration when you help out as a student volunteer!

The International Microwave Symposium (IMS) is the most prestigious conference in the field of RF and microwave engineering. Each year, this event attracts thousands of people from all over the world. Although the prestige of IMS is based on a consistently excellent technical program and many networking opportunities, the overall success of each conference is due to the combined effort of many volunteers. We look forward to your help!
