Happy IEEE Day! – IEEE Spectrum

Happy IEEE Day!

IEEE Day commemorates the first gathering of IEEE members to share their technical ideas in 1884.

First celebrated in 2010, IEEE Day marks its 15th anniversary this year.

Worldwide celebrations demonstrate the ways thousands of IEEE members in local communities join together to collaborate on ideas that leverage technology for a better tomorrow.

Celebrate IEEE Day with colleagues from IEEE Sections, Student Branches, Affinity groups, and Society Chapters. Events happen both virtually and in person all around the world.
