The International Symposium on Advanced Radio Technologies (ISART)™ is a U.S. government–sponsored conference hosted by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS), the science and engineering laboratory of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a bureau of the Department of Commerce (DOC). ISART is a science and engineering discussion-based conference that brings together government, industry, and academic leaders (both domestic and international) for the purpose of forecasting the development and application of advanced radio technologies.
For over two decades, ISART has contributed scientific and technical input towards encouraging sound, forward-looking spectrum management and regulatory policies that rely on careful engineering and ground-breaking research. The focus of ISART is to engage in a wide-ranging technical discussion. ISART does not represent NTIA policy positions.
ISART™ 2026: Sketching a Spectrum Management Blueprint
August 11–13, 2026 | Boulder, Colorado, USA, and Virtually
This year's conference opens a multi-year exploration into the “next major breakthrough” in spectrum capacity. ISART 2026 asks: What innovations will allow us to maximize spectrum use to meet demands from a vast and growing array of uses?

ISART 2026 Themes
- Data Foundations for AI/ML
Defining, collecting, and standardizing the datasets needed to enable advanced AI/ML models for spectrum management.
- AI/ML Applications for Autonomous Spectrum Operations
Developing tools that enable systems to operate cooperatively and avoid interference across commercial, federal, and mixed-use environments.
- Hardware Evolutions for Next-Generation Spectrum Use
Examining sensor fusion, radio architectures, and innovations necessary to support the long-term goal of dynamic spectrum use.
