Industrial Distinguished Lecturer Program (iDLP)

We are pleased to announce the IEEE CASS Industrial Distinguished Lecturer Program (iDLP). The iDLP program aims to educate IEEE members about advanced topics of primary importance to the industry and the CASS community. In this initiative, leading speakers from industry deliver lectures on such topics worldwide through iDLP events organized by IEEE, in the context of IEEE Chapters and conferences.

Inviting a CASS Industrial Distinguished Lecturer

A request for sponsorship of a lecture by one of the CASS Industrial Distinguished Lecturers must be made by a local sponsoring organization with direct involvement and approval of the corresponding CASS Chapter Chair. Chapters are strongly encouraged to make use of the CASS iDLP to enhance their member benefits. Although lectures are mainly organized to benefit existing members and Chapters, they can also be effective in generating membership and encouraging new chapter formation.
