Conference Quality
Many Quality Issues in the Last Three Years
– Inadequate review process
– Content outside of conference or IEEE technical scope
– “Pay to Publish” behavior
Mostly Occurs in
– Technically co-sponsored conferences
– Where co-sponsors are not well known or may be business driven
Proactive Approach to Quality
– Identifying problems earlier in the conference cycle
– Staff in place, screening content
– Tracking, analyzing and following up on complaints
– Increased communications and training
Together We Are Turning the Corner on Quality
Goals for 2013 - 2014
Bring greater value to members
– Enhance DLP, TAB Colloquia, Technical seminars and regional
conference
– Enhance member benefits
– Identify and promote volunteers to MGA and TCs
Empowering Sections/Chapters
– Establish mechanisms to guide, advice and assist IEEE volunteers
to meet the needs of members
– Develop and adopt effective, accountable and transparent entity
governance
Strengthen inter-OU collaborations
– Inter Regions activities (R8 and R9)
– More active involvement to IEEE Headquarter
Launch New Initiatives Program
– Explore new Countries and areas
Much to do – Look forward to your support and contributions
