The Chapter Chair Training Session provides a forum for focused training to the Chapter Chairs, the opportunity to discuss chapter issues and get group feedback. Additionally, the session gives the Chapter Chairs the opportunity to meet other Chapter Chairs from around the world and for the Chapter Coordinator to disseminate important information from IEEE headquarters and the EMC Society Board of Governors. A Social Session will precede the Luncheon to give the Chapter Chairs the opportunity to socialize with the other Chapter Chairs and their Angels.

The Luncheon will be served at the end of the Social Session. Besides a great meal, each Chapter Chair or their representatives will have the opportunity to share what their chapter has been doing for the past year. After the Luncheon, an interactive brainstorming session will conclude the meeting. This session is intended to allow participants to exchange information and new ideas for effective chapter management, as well as to discuss best practices and suggestions for future development and growth of the EMC chapters.

This is a free event open to Chapter Chairs or their representatives. Please check with your Chapter Chair, as you can be that representative for your chapter if your Chapter Chair cannot attend this event.

Join us for this chance to celebrate the beginning of the Symposium and to meet our Exhibitors.

The Luncheon is open to Past-Presidents of the EMC Society, and current members of the Board of Directors. The luncheon is a chance for the old and the new to mix, exchanging experiences of the past and challenges of the future relative to the EMC profession. A sit-down lunch is provided. Past-Presidents should inform the Chair of the History Committee ([email protected]) of their interest in attending so there will be seating and food available for all.

Join us for the 2026 Youth Technical Program of the IEEE EMC+SIPI Symposium in Dallas, TX.  Engineering combines creativity, curiosity, and scientific thinking to transform ideas into technologies that shape our everyday lives—from the electronics in our phones to the systems that power music and communication. In this program, students will explore the science of sound and discover how electricity, magnetism, and thoughtful engineering design work together to turn simple signals into the sounds we hear every day.
