“Because IEEE life members come from all IEEE’s fields of interest and are loaded with many years of experience, we can provide an engaging conference for all ages,” says Life Member Kirpal Singh Khalsa, one of the event’s two communications cochairs. The life member designation is for those who have reached the age of 65 and have been with IEEE for such a period of time that the sum of their age and their years of membership equals or exceeds 100.
IEEE life members are technology innovators and pioneers, working together to mentor students, participate in educational excursions, and improve their communities. The conference is expected to bring together technology professionals from across the globe to explore emerging technologies and how they impact senior citizens. Open to all interested technology enthusiasts, the event is centered on the theme of Evolution: Technology, Applications, and Contributions.
The IEEE Life Members Committee plans to hold its first conference from 14 to 16 April in Austin, Texas.
