SYP Forum

The Student & Young Professionals (S&YP) Activity Committee of the Industrial Electronics Society (IES) will organize the SYP Forum, a special event aimed at helping student and young professional members stay connected within the IES community. The SYP Forum will provide a unique opportunity to ask questions and receive professional advice directly from IEEE Fellows, the IES President, AdCom members, and other experienced colleagues.

To support participation, the S&YP Activity Committee also offers financial assistance to attend IEEE/SICE SII 2026 through the IEEE IES Students & Young Professionals Paper Assistance Program (IES-SYPA). Approved finalists of this program will be invited to join the SYP Forum and take part in a 3-minute Video Session.

The SYP Forum will also feature a series of keynote speeches by leaders from academia and industry, followed by an open discussion among participants. We encourage all conference attendees to join this exciting event!
