IEEE Conference Education Program Now Available

IEEE Meetings, Conferences and Events (MCE) is constantly striving to make the organizing experience easier and more enjoyable. The Conference Education Program will enable organizers of any experience level, location, organizational unit (OU), or role to conveniently and easily gain understanding of the principles and skills necessary for running an IEEE-sponsored conference, including requirements; standards; "best practices”; and MCE resources, services, and tools available.

The program has three components:

• Educational Webinar Series: Monthly one-hour live webinars inform and educate organizers on topics ranging from "basics" to "advanced skills," including new resources and tools. Attendees will take away practical and useful information, along with hands-on knowledge and skills. Sessions will also be available on a replay basis.
• On-Demand Education Modules: Self-paced, eLearning courses provide organizers with in-depth information and skills on specific conference functions or roles. Narrated by a subject matter expert, the modules are under 45 minutes in length, including knowledge checks and a final quiz. Professional Development Hours (PDH) are offered upon successful completion.
• Conference Leadership Workshops: Leadership Workshops enable deeper discussion and exploration of conference principles and topics through presentation, discussion, and exercises. Each Workshop is customized by MCE to meet the needs, goals, experience level, and time available and are available in two formats:
  • MCE Train the Trainer - An OU, Region, Section, Society, etc., organizes and delivers material provided by MCE, including agendas, communication materials, and "course" content, with speaker notes and scripts, exercises, and feedback surveys.
  • MCE Led - IEEE MCE provides leaders and materials to assist the OU in delivering and guiding the workshop and discussion.
