The 2nd Future G Summit @ IEEE AP-S 2026

Advancing Interdisciplinary Innovation for Next-Generation Wireless Systems

Following the remarkable success of the inaugural event in 2025 (https://2025.apsursi.org/future_g_summit.php), we are pleased to announce the 2nd Future G Summit, to be held during the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (AP-S) in Detroit.

The Future G Summit is a premier day-long industry event designed to explore the transformative, interdisciplinary concepts that will define the next decade of wireless connectivity. The summit is structured into three or four curated technical sessions, each focusing on a critical pillar of the Future G landscape.

Each session features three invited presentations from visionary leaders across industry, academia, and government, culminating in a 30-minute interactive panel discussion. These panels offer a unique forum for attendees to engage directly with experts, debate technical hurdles, and collaborate on the roadmap for realizing global Future G networks.

Recognizing the rapid development and profound impact of Artificial Intelligence, this year's summit will dedicate an entire half-day exclusively to AI for Engineering & Design, exploring its practical applications and future potential from a uniquely industrial perspective.
