IEEE Conferences Organization Manual

This edition of the IEEE Conferences Organization Manual has been prepared for the conference planner's use.  Included in this guide is a typical planning schedule, where IEEE requirements have been highlighted to differentiate them from recommendations.

Also included are revised general information and financial and publications forms, which are required to be completed by the conference planner.  Instructions for completing these forms are found on the reverse side of each. You may print, fill out and mail these forms.

Reference is made to the IEEE  Bylaws and the IEEE Policies and Procedures Manual. These documents by their very nature, are subject to revision.  The Conferences Organization Manual attempts to reflect up to date references.  Should any questions arise, please contact IEEE Conference Services, who will interpret IEEE policy and furnish updated Bylaws and/or Policy and Procedures Manuals. 

Throughout this manual, reference is made to IEEE Conferences Services as the primary link between the conference and IEEE Headquarters.  IEEE Conference Services has many other services to offer - some gratis, others for a nominal fee - which are referred to throughout this manual.
