IEEE Day is an annual event that celebrates the first time in history when engineers worldwide gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884. One of the IEEE Day’s objectives is to show the ways IEEE members, in local communities, join together to collaborate on ideas that leverage technology for a better tomorrow.
In the spring of 1884, a small group of individuals in the electrical professions met in New York, USA. They formed a new organization to support professionals in their nascent field and to aid them in their efforts to apply innovation for the betterment of humanity—the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE). That October, the AIEE held its first technical meeting in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Many early leaders, such as founding President Norvin Green of Western Union, came from telegraphy.
IEEE Regions can organize a wide range of events, such as IEEE benefits, technology and awareness sessions. They can also provide financial support to the local IEEE Sections for their celebrations to increase participation and awareness, and inspiring them to foster stronger ties among IEEE members.
Local IEEE Sections can organize and hold IEEE events, collaborate with local IEEE Student Branches and promote IEEE Day for the purpose of spreading awareness of IEEE.
IEEE Student Branches are encouraged to organize events on campus (either technical or non-technical). All IEEE Day contests are open to IEEE Student Branches. IEEE Day is an ideal opportunity to build awareness about IEEE and recruit new members.
