The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) is excited to announce its participation at HAM RADIO 2025, set to take place from June 27 to June 29, 2025. This event will bring together amateur radio enthusiasts from around the world, continuing its tradition as one of the most anticipated gatherings in the global amateur radio community.

At HAM RADIO 2025, IARU will once again feature three key zones in hall A1:

• IARU Main Booth — A central hub for engaging with IARU volunteers
• IARU Youth Booth — Learn more about our activities and initiatives to support young operators around the world. It will also serve as a meeting point for young radio amateurs to connect and exchange experiences. In addition to the scheduled events, we are also bringing back the traditional Off Air Contest—a fun and engaging challenge where participants simulate contest operations without using any radios. Sounds easy? There’s always a surprise or two, like unexpected SSTV signals or someone tuning up their amplifier! We warmly invite everyone to visit the Youth Booth — whether you’re curious about our work, want to get involved, or just wish to say hello.
• IARU Innovation Zone — Showcasing the latest technologies, open-source innovations, and open discussions and demos about the future of our hobby. Learn more on what to expect in this press release.
