Aim & Scope

In 2024, the IEEE Radar Conference will be held in Denver, Colorado. With over 300 days of sunshine per year and situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Denver features beautiful weather, outdoor activities, world-class museums and public art, performing arts complex, sporting events, and walkable shopping and dining destinations. The Denver area is home to offices of industry-relevant companies, major universities, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the US Air Force Academy (AFA), and the US Northern Command (NORTHCOM). Don’t miss this exciting week filled with technical innovation and great adventure.

The Venue

The 2024 IEEE Radar Conference will be held at the Hilton Denver City Center. In addition to ample meeting space and conference amenities, the venue is within easy walking distance to the Larimer Square dining/shopping/entertainment district, Coors Field (baseball), the Denver Performing Arts Complex, and outdoor city parks. Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, Rocky Mountain National Park, and other outdoor adventure and hiking destinations are drivable within 30-90 minutes. Attendees will find myriad options for work, shopping, dining, exercise, relaxation, and wonder.
