Step inside the future of RF innovation at Keysight Open Lab Day — a hands-on experience designed to bring you closer to the technologies shaping next-generation communications.

Explore live demonstrations spanning Keysight’s broadest RF hardware and software portfolio, from sub-THz device characterization to space communications channel emulation. Connect directly with the engineers behind the solutions and dive deeper into the tools that matter most to your work.

The day also features a full lineup of expert-led sessions. Hear Dr. Joel Dunsmore discuss the evolution of VNAs, Akilesh Daniel explore emerging RF research frontiers, and Raymond Shen share strategies for managing complex RF environments at scale.

Join a special IEEE Societies Fireside Chat, and close the program with Professor Kaushik Chowdhury (University of Texas at Austin) as he examines the role of digital twins in 6G.

Breakfast and lunch are provided, so you can stay focused, engage fully, and make the most of your time.

Reserve your spot today and experience RF innovation up close.
