Concept

Technology growth is moving fast in the academic research

AND industry segmentsSome IEEE events are diverging from Industry needsAcademic 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 eventsConvergence allows IEEE to be more valued by Industry

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 IEEEEstablish resolution path for the Industry-to-IEEE dichotomy

Showcase events typically have 20-80 exhibits in the areaShowcase operators often desire more technical content - IEEE has itRegistration allows attendees for Summit or Attached Events(s)

* “Attached Event” Registration required for papers, special activities, etc. Possible Financial Benefit for IEEEShowcase, say 30 exhibits at $10K = $300KSummit Attendees 500 at $250 = $125K

Say 20% share, each IEEE event gets about $150K from Summit plus their registration1/29/2016

Theme is Challenges of Industrial IoT

Current Status

Finding volunteers to motivate Industry sponsors is a challengeSection 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 organization4 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

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 EventsA sponsorship committeeMotivate the Challenge ProgramA Region (possibly Multiple Region) support teamOwners for next 3 years and planned events

Venue can move but stably-located events tend to grow industry engagementAttached events need to focus on the theme and industry interestAlso make it a major recruiting event Success can grow industry engagement – do the recalculation

Helping the 2016 Event

The stongest need is sponsorship/exhibits

and attracting attendeesSponsors/exhibitors come from Industry partners to the IEEEI have talked to many, need some stronger contactsHelp “getting the word out” for attendeesWould 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 major8

Challenge Option

Industry Summit also enables company supported challengesThe program connects the IEEE engineering and research community to companies interested in sponsoring challenges

Company runs challengesAll rules defined (and managed) by companyCan be prototyping, hack-a-thons, benchmarks, proposed standards or whatever the company wants to use the IEEE resourcesIf desired, the Summit provides exhibit space for challenges selected by sponsors. This is independent of the showcase that is focused on companies exhibiting product

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 guestsOptional Focused topic analysis sessions

If a challenge is supported the demo space will be provided

Why Engage –

Value Propositions

As a CompanyShowcase your technologies and product directionsObserve competition and engineering interestsNetwork with a large engineering and research community

As an Engineer or researcherObserve technology in use and directions, see demosListen to technology research directions, pick the ones interesting youPresent your research to a larger audienceAs a Manager or Entrepreneur

Be educated in technology management skills and how they changeEngage in a hands on workshop to with Berkeley team on your challenges
