Vancouver Section Celebrates IEEE Day on Oct 1st

Please save the date, and plan to join us!

 

The IEEE Vancouver Section will hold a celebration of IEEE Day on Oct. 1, 2024.

IEEE Day is not only celebrated by the Vancouver Section but is a global event.

The global theme for IEEE Day this year is “Leveraging Technology for a Better Tomorrow.”

Every year, on the first Tuesday of October, members and friends of the Vancouver Section gather to celebrate the founding of the IEEE and everything it represents.

IEEE Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the significance of the IEEE, the contributions of past volunteers and look ahead to the future of the IEEE.  It commemorates the IEEE’s founding, when engineers gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884.  This year’s IEEE Day marks the 140th anniversary of the IEEE.

The Vancouver Section, founded in 1911, also takes the opportunity to celebrate its own anniversary during this event.  This year marks the 113th anniversary of the Vancouver Section.

We look forward to welcoming our members and friends of the Vancouver Section at our special IEEE Day event on October 1st.
