About IEEE Day
IEEE Day is an annual event that celebrates the first time in history when engineers worldwide gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884. One of IEEE Day’s objectives is to show the ways IEEE members, in local communities, join together to collaborate on ideas that leverage technology for a better tomorrow.
Who can Join?
Every year, IEEE members from IEEE Sections, Student Branches, Affinity groups, and Society Chapters join hands to celebrate IEEE Day. Events happen both virtually and in person.

FAQs
Why do we celebrate IEEE Day?
In the spring of 1884, a small group of individuals in the electrical professions met in New York, USA. They formed a new organization to support professionals in their nascent field and to aid them in their efforts to apply innovation for the betterment of humanity—the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE). That October, the AIEE held its first technical meeting in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Many early leaders, such as founding President Norvin Green of Western Union, came from telegraphy.
When do we celebrate IEEE Day?
IEEE Day is celebrated on the first Tuesday in October. This year, IEEE Day will take place on 3 October 2023.
Who can celebrate IEEE Day?
All IEEE members can celebrate IEEE Day! Participating in local IEEE Day events, hosted by the local IEEE Section or IEEE Student Branch, is a great way to meet and collaborate with those who share the same passion and enthusiasm about technology and IEEE.
How can an IEEE Region, Section or Student Branch get involved in IEEE Day?
IEEE Regions can organize a wide range of events, such as IEEE benefits, technology and awareness sessions. They can also provide financial support to the local IEEE Sections for their celebrations to increase participation and awareness and inspire them to foster stronger ties among IEEE members.
Local IEEE Sections can organize and hold IEEE events, collaborate with local IEEE Student Branches and promote IEEE Day for the purpose of spreading awareness of IEEE. IEEE Student Branches are encouraged to organize events on campus (either technical or non-technical). All IEEE Day contests are open to IEEE Student Branches. IEEE Day is an ideal opportunity to build awareness about IEEE and recruit new members.
