IEEE Week 2024 | Student Branch & Affinity Group Event – London
The IEEE UK and Ireland Section is organising a series of public and invitation only meetings during IEEE Week (30th September – 4th October 2024) where IEEE Volunteers, Members and the wider community will have the opportunity to hear from and engage with IEEE President Dr Tom Coughlin.
This closed meeting for Student Branch, Student Branch Chapter officers and Counsellors and Affinity Group officers and members facilitates knowledge sharing in relation to current and future activities as well as networking to support cooperation between these Organisational Units. There has been extensive engagement with Student Members, Young Professionals and Life Members while preparing this event.
We would like to thank the Student Branch / Student Branch Chapter officers, Counsellors and Affinity Group officers who are sharing their activities, lessons learnt and future plans as part of the formal program.
IEEE President Dr Tom Coughlin will present “IEEE as your Professional Home” followed by the opportunity for discussion and questions.
We would appreciate all registered participants being in the venue by 09:15 to facilitate a sharp commencement at 09:30am.
