Societies and Technical Councils
IEEE Societies and Technical Councils produce over 180 publications and sponsor, co-sponsor, and technically sponsor over 2,000 conferences each year all around the world. Their members take advantage of opportunities to network with other professionals and stay technically current within their fields of interest.
An IEEE Society is a membership community within IEEE representing a specific field of interest, while Technical Councils consist of a group of Societies that share similar fields of interest.
Technical Communities
IEEE Technical Activities is home to a growing number of Technical Communities, each responsible for fostering new and emerging technologies.
