About IEEE CASS
Society Overview
Advancing Circuits & Systems for the Benefit of Humanity
The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) is the leading organisation that promotes the advancement of the theory, analysis, computer-aided design and practical implementation of circuits, and the application of circuit theoretic techniques to systems and signal processing.
The Society brings engineers, researchers, scientists and others involved in circuits and systems applications access to the industry's most essential technical information, networking opportunities, career development tools, and many other exclusive benefits.
Society Mission
"To foster technological innovation and excellence in fundamentals, emerging directions, and applications of circuits and systems for the benefit of humanity through an interdisciplinary community of researchers, educators, students, and practitioners."

CAS Society Newsletter
Free access for all CASS members. Covers society news, upcoming events, member spotlights, calls for papers, and the latest developments across the global CAS community.
Flagship Conferences
Global EventsISCAS — IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems
The world's premier forum for researchers in the active fields of theory, design, and implementation of circuits and systems. Held annually, ISCAS brings together thousands of engineers and researchers for technical sessions, tutorials, workshops, and networking. ISCAS 2026 is themed "Circuits and Systems for Intelligent Society" and will be held in Shanghai, China.
NEWCAS — IEEE North East Workshop on Circuits and Systems
A regional annual conference focusing on emerging research in circuits and systems. NEWCAS provides an excellent forum for young researchers to present their work alongside established experts in a collaborative environment.
MWSCAS — IEEE Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems
One of the oldest and most respected circuits and systems symposia, covering a broad range of topics from analog and digital circuit design to signal processing and communications systems.
CASS Seasonal Schools & Workshops
CASS organises specialised seasonal schools on emerging topics — including Quantum Circuits, Biomedical Systems, and AI Hardware. The Bangalore Chapter actively hosts local editions of these programs, bringing global expertise to Indian students and professionals.
Technical Committees
14 TCs + 3 SIGsJoin a CASS Technical Committee
CASS offers 14 Technical Committees (TC) and three Special Interest Groups (SIG) open to any IEEE member. Membership is by recommendation and approved by active TC members, typically at ISCAS. TCs promote technical activities in specific topical areas and offer focused networking opportunities. To join, contact the relevant TC Chair via the CASS website.
