Undoubtedly, the best way to stay up-to-date with technological developments and not be isolated from the world with your project in mind is to attend industry conferences and trade shows, especially when they are organized in-person like AMPERE 2023. These are catalyst events for fruitful meetings and innovative projects, born out of a pleasant chat over a good cup of coffee or a spontaneous pen-and-paper sketch that unexpectedly paves the way for a multi-year business. For experts and enthusiasts of microwave technologies, both from academia and industry, AMPERE 2023 (Cardiff, September 11-14) is a must-attend meeting point, witnessed by the wide success of previous editions. We will be there, there is still time to register to attend the conference, if you wish you can also experience it as a protagonist like us, by selecting the exhibitor and/or sponsor option. We look forward to seeing you there!
