SUMMA Foundation President Edl Schamiloglu with University of New Mexico reflected on the history of GlobalEM: “This Symposium is unique in that it brings together international experts in high-power electromagnetics. Since1978, the SUMMA Foundation has sponsored the Symposium, which has rotated annually among North America, Europe, and Asia. On behalf of the SUMMA Foundation that shepherds this Symposium series, we look forward to gathering in Austin in 2024!"

“ETS-Lindgren is honored to continue the legacy of this important global assembly as the primary organizer of GlobalEM 2024 Symposium in Austin, Texas,” said Mr. Kellogg. “Having just presented at the National Disaster Resilience Council in San Antonio, Texas, I witnessed a keen interest to better understand and find solutions to mitigate the threats posed by high power electromagnetics and intentional electromagnetic interference. We are thrilled to be co-hosting the GlobalEM 2024 Symposium, which will bring experts from around the world to Austin in order to disseminate these threats and constructively discuss research being conducted in the field. We are also thankful to our Symposium partners including the SUMMA Foundation, Metatech Corporation, and TII, who will help ensure this is an exciting and successful Symposium.”
