Every year the IMS holds a number of Special Sessions and Focus Sessions. Special Sessions often honor an individual who has given unusual service to the organization or to microwave technology. Focus Sessions usually deal with special, timely technical topics, or add breadth to existing technical subjects. The following sessions are planned:

• Trends in Future Systems with Low Cost Phased Arrays.
• Status and Trends in E-Scan Radar for Air-and Spaceborne Applications.
• THz Electronics.
• Wide Band-gap Semiconductor Applications.
• CAD Techniques and Methodologies: Future Directions.
• Advances in Active Device Modeling.
• Advances in Packaging.
