Submit Conference Proceedings Electronically
|
Conferences are now able to submit conference publication content electronically, providing a faster and simpler approach to submitting your conference publication to the IEEE Xplore® digital library. Once your conference has occurred, the Xplore-compliant conference publication can be submitted to IEEE Meetings, Conferences & Events (MCE) electronically in zip file format, rather than mailing hard copies of conference proceedings. This new approach will reduce submission time and shipping costs for IEEE conferences, and allow more timely publication of content in Xplore. Conferences interested in taking advantage of this program should contact MCE
for details on
getting started.
