IEEE MEMS

According to the organiser, the 40th IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems takes place from 17 to 21 January 2027 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, 69-425 Waikoloa Beach Dr., Waikoloa Village, HI 96738, on the Big Island of Hawaii. The conference chairs are Hanseup Kim (University of Utah) and Mina Rais-Zadeh (NASA JPL).

The organiser describes it as a premier annual event on every aspect of MEMS and microsystems technology: design and simulation tools, fabrication technologies, materials, packaging, metrology and system architecture, plus sensors and other applications. Papers are presented in non-overlapping oral and poster sessions, in a single-session format, and the 2027 edition aims to bring more industrial elements.

In-person registration is priced at USD $995 for an IEEE member, USD $1175 for a non-member and USD $825 for an IEEE Fellow or student when paid on or before 19 November 2026. Fees step up through the advanced (to 17 December), standard (to 7 January) and on-site periods, where on-site is priced at USD $1250 for members and USD $1475 for non-members. Remote participation and daily registration are priced separately. Payment is in US dollars only.

The organiser says the fee includes program material, an electronic technical digest, exhibit hall access, a welcome reception, the Wednesday conference banquet, lunches and refreshment breaks. A daily registration does not include the banquet. Guest banquet tickets are priced at USD $190. Refund requests must be made in writing by 24 December 2026, and a 20 percent cancellation fee applies.

The organiser has arranged discounted rooms at the Hilton Waikoloa Village from Tuesday 12 January to Thursday 22 January, priced at USD $284 to USD $389 depending on room type, with a student rate priced at USD $274. Rates include the daily resort fee but not state and occupancy tax. The hotel is about 40 minutes north of Kona International Airport (KOA), served by SpeediShuttle, taxis and Uber. The organiser warns that it works only with Preferred Meeting Management, Inc. for housing.

The organiser's exhibit floorplan lists instrument makers, equipment suppliers and research bodies, among them Teledyne MEMS, Polytec, KLA Corporation, Keysight Technologies, Google and Heidelberg Instruments, with table tops for Sandia National Laboratories and the IEEE Journal. Some booths were still marked available when we checked, so contact the organiser at info@mems2027.org for exhibiting.
