The Center for Wireless Communications (CWC) (cwc.ucsd.edu) at UC San Diego will be holding its ninth annual "5G and Beyond Forum, Innovating 5G -  Envisioning 6G”, November 18-19, 2021. Considering the current circumstances due to COVID-19, the Forum will be organized as a hybrid combination of online and in-person events. The Forum will discuss innovations and challenges in a variety of areas, including circuits, sensing, communication, and networking, as well as the role big data and AI will play in the next generations of networks and devices. The Forum will also discuss how user experiences and new applications, like connected health, smart transportation, smart manufacturing and immersive multimedia, can inform and benefit from current 5G innovations and lead to future 6G advancements.  As in our previous Forums, experts from different industry segments and government agencies, together with experts from academia, will participate as speakers and panelists.
