IEEE Region 10 SYW Congress 2015 Logo IEEE Region 10 Student/Young Professionals/WIE Congress 2015

With the members spanning 165 countries of the globe, the Region 10 Congress gathers members of the asia-pacific region together every two years to network, learn about the latest IEEE programs, and share strategies for enhancing membership. This is the biggest IEEE event for the students, young professionals and women in engineering (WIE) in the region with ample opportunities to explore ideas, develop skills and discuss issues in their profession.

The Region 10 Congress was first held in 2002 in Singapore, attracting 57 delegates. The event has since been held in Hong Kong (2004), Beijing (2005), Chennai (2007), Singapore(2009), Auckland, New Zealand (2011) and Hyderabad (2013).

Sri Lanka will be the proud hosts of the congress in 2015. This year’s theme is ‘Today’s Youth for a Better Tomorrow’, which is a timely concept to be addressed through an international event of this scale, since youth can contribute significantly to the betterment of the future. Through the congress, we aspire to create an environment for all the delegates to ponder promising ideas inline with the theme using their knowledge and skills.
