Prospective members usually ask the question: "What is it like to attend a typical seminar?" We have several different types of meetings and seminars throughout the year. Here is a description of each kind of event.
Twice per year we hold our Spring and Fall Section Conference and Dinner, in April and November respectively. The evening meeting begins at 5pm where all fourteen technical chapters (including us as one of the chapters) hold simultaneous hour-long technical sessions. We always have a speaker presenting a management topic, and other chapters have speakers on other technical topics. We then have dinner and a keynote speaker. We typically have about 150 people attend the conference. The event used to be called the "Spring and Fall Section Meetings", but around 2003 the name was change to "Section Conference". Members and their guests are welcome to attend, as are prospective members, engineers, managers, technical professionals, and engineering students. Business attire is preferred. Registration information, including fees, is available about one month before the event. See our page on the
next conference
.
Our regular meetings are held on the first Tuesday of February, June, August, and December. We typically have about 10 or so members attend and we have a speaker on a wide variety of topics. We don't charge an attendance fee, and the meeting is sponsored solely by the IEEE chapter. We always have light refreshments. Registration is not necessary but is encouraged so we can have an accurate food count. See the
Archives (Past Seminars).
Sometimes we hold special workshops during the year on various topics of interest that require time than we can cover in our regular meetings. The workshops can be half a day or a full day. The price usually includes lunch. Members and their guests are welcome to attend, as are prospective members, engineers, managers, technical professionals, and engineering students. Check the schedule for the next workshop. We host many of our workshops jointly with other ESD Affiliate Council engineering societies.
See the
schedule below.
We strive to make sure that information presented by speakers is not of a commercial nature.
The IEEE Engineering Management Society also holds yearly conferences. Information about these is available on the
Society web site.
IEEE members and their guests are welcome to attend our events, as are prospective members, engineers, managers, technical professionals, and engineering students.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with the event planning. Contact Us if you are interested in helping out.
