We are excited to announce IEEE DySPAN'26, the premier global forum for cutting-edge developments in spectrum technology and policy. This year's event will take place in Washington, D.C., May 11-14, 2026.

 

DySPAN’26 welcomes research papers, posters, demos, and tutorials relating to technology and policy issues that pertain to all aspects of advanced spectrum technologies. With an ever-growing demand for more wireless capacity and increasingly pervasive wireless applications, high-efficiency spectrum technologies and management models are needed more than ever. As new technologies which operate at millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) frequencies are becoming mainstream, spectrum innovation needs to address a variety of frequency bands and tackle challenges in dynamically managing spectrum resources. Likewise, spectrum allocation and assignment policies and techniques need to reliably meet an increased demand for local and private networks and the need to share with incumbent services. 

 

DySPAN’26 aims to bring together industry, academia, and government stakeholders in a common forum for sharing experiences and accelerating the state-of-the-art in spectrum aspects related to wireless technologies in a multidisciplinary manner.
