IEEE Industry Summit Program Michael Condry, TEMS President-Elect, IES Senior AdCom Creator and Chair of IEEE Industry Summit 2016 11/22/2018

Concept Technology growth is moving fast in the academic research AND industry segments Some IEEE events are diverging from Industry needs Academic studies focus on citations and exposures Industry studies focus on product design and marketing Membership and cross engagement is shrinking IEEE Industry Summit is a program to stimulate convergence of these industry and IEEE events Convergence allows IEEE to be more valued by Industry 11/22/2018

Event Design Summit has industry speakers and showcase Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri IEEE Industry Summit Attached IEEE Events Summit has industry speakers and showcase Attached Events are IEEE Conferences and Workshops Engagement allows any attendee to mix in any technical sessions Stimulate a “Challenge” program for Industry to access IEEE community Attached events aligned to possible industry audience interests Overall theme of event can vary by each year

Objective Benefit for IEEE Key is a program for industry to benefit and engage in IEEE Establish resolution path for the Industry-to-IEEE dichotomy Showcase events typically have 20-80 exhibits in the area Showcase operators often desire more technical content - IEEE has it Registration allows attendees for Summit or Attached Events(s)* “Attached Event” Registration required for papers, special activities, etc. Possible Financial Benefit for IEEE Showcase, say 30 exhibits at $10K = $300K Summit Attendees 500 at $250 = $125K Say 20% share, each IEEE event gets about $150K from Summit plus their registration * Register for one and view open sessions from all 11/22/2018

Current Status Finding volunteers to motivate Industry sponsors is a challenge Section members are not used to finding sponsors Some Society members are looking for sponsors but we need more help! Summit speaker program is coming together Some section and society members are helping with session organization 4 Companies offered diamond sponsorship to get started, more are being contacted The operational model did not align with many traditional IEEE processes, many had unique requirements requiring custom agreements We do need support particularly in sponsors/exhibitors for 2016 11/22/2018

Needed for Long Term Objective A TAB level committee to own the effort – it is not a one person job Engage Societies/Divisions to host Attached Events A sponsorship committee Motivate the Challenge Program A Region (possibly Multiple Region) support team Owners for next 3 years and planned events Venue can move but stably-located events tend to grow industry engagement Attached events need to focus on the theme and industry interest Also make it a major recruiting event Success can grow industry engagement – do the recalculation 11/22/2018

Helping the 2016 Event The stongest need is sponsorship/exhibits and attracting attendees Sponsors/exhibitors come from Industry partners to the IEEE I have talked to many, need some stronger contacts Help “getting the word out” for attendees Would be able to support hack-a-thons at the showcase, maybe this might draw interest Need more applications speakers (medical, factory, automotive) Long term return for the IEEE could be major 11/22/2018

Challenge Option Industry Summit also enables company supported challenges The program connects the IEEE engineering and research community to companies interested in sponsoring challenges Company runs challenges All rules defined (and managed) by company Can be prototyping, hack-a-thons, benchmarks, proposed standards or whatever the company wants to use the IEEE resources If desired, the Summit provides exhibit space for challenges selected by sponsors. This is independent of the showcase that is focused on companies exhibiting product More see: http://techindustrysummit.org/optional-challenge-program/

Industry Sponsorship Industry Sponsored and Senior Speakers Sponsorship Fees $25K diamond provides large exhibit, speakers and 30 attendee guests, focus sessions $10K gold exhibit, speakers and 15 guests $5K silver exhibit, 2 guests Optional Focused topic analysis sessions If a challenge is supported the demo space will be provided

Why Engage – Value Propositions As a Company Showcase your technologies and product directions Observe competition and engineering interests Network with a large engineering and research community As an Engineer or researcher Observe technology in use and directions, see demos Listen to technology research directions, pick the ones interesting you Present your research to a larger audience As a Manager or Entrepreneur Be educated in technology management skills and how they change Engage in a hands on workshop to with Berkeley team on your challenges Register for any event and get in open sessions to all: listen to what you like
