The Committee’s annual workshop, the long-running IEEE Communication Theory Workshop, takes place in late Spring. It typically consists of five single-track sessions of invited talks over a three-day period, along with Keynotes, Panels, a Poster Session, and lively networking events. The number of attendees is usually around 70 to 100.

Next Communication Theory Workshop
The 2024 Communication Theory Workshop will be held May 19–22, 2024, in Banff, Canada.
