Choosing Criteria to Search for Conferences

Printer Friendly

Search by month and year

The database contains all future meetings as well as all meetings held during the past year.
If you do not know exact information, such as the title, a search by month or year will return the most complete listing of meetings.
If you need information about a conference held last year and get an error page, please contact Conference Services.

Search by conference keyword.

A keyword can be used as criteria.

This field searches the keywords in the conference title, key topic areas, and the acronym of the conference.
If you only know the society acronym, go to the "Sponsor" dropdown.
Note that the most common error in trying to locate a conference is that you do not get the title of the meeting exactly correct.
By using keywords, the search should return the meeting you seek. If not, try using similar words. It may be that the search yields a very long list of possible matches - for example, if you use the keyword "computer."
If the search yields too many matches , use a less universal word to narrow the scope of the search.

Search by City

Fill in the name of the city.

State/Province

All US states, possessions and Canadian Provinces are provided alphabetically.

Country

If it's a USA conference, leave this field blank; if not, then fully spell out the name of the country.

Search by Region

The IEEE is divided into 10 geographical regions. This field will yield all conferences located in that geographic region. This search will always yield more matches than city and country.

Region 1 - Northeastern USA
Region 2 - Eastern USA
Region 3 - Southeastern USA
Region 4 - Central USA
Region 5 - Southwestern USA
Region 6 - Western USA
Region 7 - Canada
Region 8 - Africa, Europe, Greenland, Iceland, the Republics of the former USSR, and the Near and Middle East countries located west of Afghanistan and Pakistan
Region 9 - the Caribbean and Bahamas Islands, South America, Central America and North America (except the United States, Jamaica and Canada)
Region 10 - comprises Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and related islands

Search by record #

This is the IEEE reference number assigned to that particular meeting. If known, this is the most direct way to find a particular meeting.
Note that the 2000 meeting and the 2001 meeting will have different reference numbers.
This record # is also used for sales of conference proceedings.
