IEEE Day

IEEE Day is a global event planned for 7 - 8 October 2010, in recognition of IEEE members -- past, pre- sent, and future -- on the anniversary of the first time IEEE members gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884. IEEE organizational units (regions, sections, chapters, affinity groups, student branches, etc.) are encouraged to participate by providing local events for their members and encouraging the use of social networking to communicate members’ technological achievements, interests, and successes. IEEE Day is on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and LinkedIn.

IEEE Day is a project initiated by Salima Kaissi, a Region 8 GOLD member, through the 2010 MGA Challenge. The concept was further developed by a group of interested GOLD and Student volunteers and is sponsored by IEEE Member and Geographic Activities.
IEEE Day is a project that grounds its roots in a simple concept: Celebrate everywhere around the world the achievements of IEEE members. The project aims to build a platform and a network where all IEEE members, affinity groups, sections, regions, chapters, societies, and technology lovers in general can organize events in their home locations. Any type of event is welcome!

Put IEEE Day -- 7 - 8 October 2010 -- on your calendar and start thinking of creative ways to participate in the excitement. Use IEEE Day to tell us about yourself, share your work, and get to know your fellow members.
