Geographic Activities

IEEE Sections Congress is a triennial gathering of Section leadership sponsored by the Member and Geographic Activities Board. An event which includes four days of working sessions and networking, Sections Congress involves hundreds of delegates from all ten Regions. At Congress they learn how to utilize the resources of the IEEE to maximize their effectiveness as IEEE volunteer leaders. Workshop, panel and tutorial sessions are held on topics of interest to the Sections.

Sections Congress is the one major meeting sponsored by the IEEE which brings together the Institute's grassroots leadership so that they can share ideas, concerns and solutions.

The Congress is also a forum where the Section Chairs speak as the collective voice of IEEE membership, expressing ideas about how the Institute can better serve its members, both now and going forward. The issues generated at Sections Congress have had a major impact on the plans made by the IEEE Leadership for the future of the Institute.

IEEE Member and Geographic Activities provide unique opportunities to attend technical presentations, create strong peer-to-peer connections, and participate in leadership opportunities that can make a positive distinction in IEEE members' jobs and careers.

Activities take place on a local level through the development and maintenance of geographical organizational units: Regions, Sections, Technical Chapters, Affinity Groups and Student Branches.

Member and Geographic Activities are volunteer-driven by members and the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Board (MGA Board).

Members of the IEEE automatically become members of their local IEEE Section, allowing them to share technical, professional and personal interests with others in IEEE's worldwide member community. For tools and resources to assist with your section, visit Geographic Unit Operation Support.

Wherever you live, there's a good chance there is an IEEE meeting near you. Select your geographic region from the list below or from the main navigational menu. 

A chapter is the technical subunit of one or more IEEE sections. Society chapters are your local link to the valuable resources available from the IEEE and its 39 technical societies. Chapter activities may include guest speakers, workshops, and seminars as well as social functions. Chapters provide society members with valuable opportunities to network at a local level - enabling both personal and professional growth.
