Communities
As the world's largest technical professional organization, IEEE offers many ways to get involved with technical and local communities.
Societies
Other Technical Communities
Technical Councils
IEEE Technical Councils are groups of Societies working together in broad areas of technology, sponsoring member activities such as technical meetings, publishing, promoting educational activities, and developing standards.
