Workshops

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.
