Program accomplishments

  • Conferences: In 2024, IEEE conferences highlighted groundbreaking research and emerging technologies, reflecting the organization's unwavering dedication to fostering innovation, exploration and collaboration across the global technical community. Virtual, in-person, and hybrid options provide collaboration opportunities, access to cutting edge technical literature, resources for continuing education, and innovative collaboration. In 2024, IEEE sponsored 2,260 conferences with 609,000 attendees. The IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) was hosted in Yokohama, Japan, featuring the most influential and innovative figures in robotics and automation through plenary speeches, workshops, and other interactive activities. Over 10 IEEE societies and groups collaborated at the IEEE Quantum Week to deliver live exhibits, world-class keynote speakers, technical papers, and community-building workshops. The event aimed to close the gap between quantum computing science and the industry emerging around it. Exploring AI's Impact on the Future of Work: At CES 2024, IEEE members from industry and academia participated in a panel discussion on how the evolving tech landscape is reshaping the world and how educational institutions can prepare students to succeed. IEEE established the world's first engineering ethics code in 1912 and has since been at the forefront of updating ethics considerations in engineering, computer science and the emerging field of AI ethics. The IEEE Jamaica Section hosted a workshop at the University of Technology, Jamaica, focused on expanding access to quality engineering opportunities in the country. The event attracted over 200 participants, including local IEEE members, high school and college students and representatives from academia, industry, and government-including the Minister of Education.
