A Historic Setting for Future Technology

AUG 9-12, 2026 CINCINNATI, OHIO

MWSCAS, the North American flagship conference of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, from August 9 to August 12, 2026.

This year, we’ll explore the critical and timely theme: “Co-design across scale, from systems to devices to circuits.”

The program is designed for maximum technical exchange, featuring a full schedule of keynote and invited talks, peer-reviewed oral and poster sessions, intensive tutorials, and focused special sessions, along with interactive student events."

We invite you to join us in Cincinnati, the “Queen City” and a growing hub for tech research, at the magnificent Hilton Netherland Plaza. This stunning, Art-Deco National Historic Landmark provides an inspiring, elegant backdrop for networking and the discussions that will define the future of our field.
