One of the greatest and most prestigious achievements a Chapter
or section can reach is that of hosting the IEEE International
Symposium on EMC, which is held annually, traditionally in the
month of August.
IEEE EMC Symposia are scheduled five years in advance, and therefore;
it is time to plan for the 2009 Symposium.
The Board of Directors of the EMC Society is therefore soliciting
proposals for hosting the 2009 IEEE International Symposium on
Electromagnetic Compatibility.
Proposals should be submitted by an IEEE EMC Chapter (or chapters)
with acknowledgement by the local Section, which are interested
in leading the organizing and hosting of the Symposium.
Any Chapter, including Chapters who have hosted symposia in the
past, may submit proposals and will be considered. In addition,
there may be a location that does not have a Chapter per se, but
has interest and association with nearby areas that do have Chapters.
We will look at those opportunities as long as there is a clear
leadership team available.
Proposals should address but not be limited to:
-
Convention facilities
-
Hotels and accommodation availability
-
Accessibility
-
Attractiveness to industry (both for Symposium
exhibitors and local businesses)
-
Activities and attractions which would draw
families
-
City municipality/state support
-
Expected cost of conference facilities
-
Organizing entity, proposed chair and core
committee
-
Section endorsement and support
A more detailed description of the above and
a Symposium checklist for submitting your proposal may be obtained
by sending an e-mail to Elya B. Joffe, VP for Conferences and
Symposia, at: eb.joffe@ieee.org
The checklist can also be downloaded from the EMCS Web Site: https://www.emcs.org
Please note that the proposals should be submitted no later than
May 1, 2004. Please send your proposal to both:
Barry Wallen
International Symposia Coordinator
Regulatory Compliance Group Dell Inc.
Austin, TX USA
e-mail: barry_wallen@dell.com
bwallen@ieee.org
Elya B. Joffe
EMCS V.P. for Conferences and Symposia
P.O. Box 264
Kfar-Sava 44102 ISRAEL
e-mail: eb.joffe@ieee.org
If you submit a proposal, you will be expected
to attend the BoD meeting during the 2004 IEEE International Symposium
on EMC in Santa Clara, and make a presentation regarding your proposal.
It has been customary in recent years that a representative of the
Convention Facility or the local Chamber of Commerce also attend
the meeting in order to support the presentation.
A final decision will be made at the November 2004 BoD meeting or
soon thereafter.
Again, please let me emphasize that only proposals received NO LATER
than May 1, 2004 can be considered this year.
