Dear All,

You may have seen the message from the IEEE about Covid-19 if not, please have a read.

The 2020 IEEE International Symposium on EMC+SIPI in Reno planning is progressing for July 27-31 as anticipated. However, there is a ‘high level’ committee involving the symposium organizing committee leadership, EMC Society leadership and the IEEE Emergency Response team which is overseeing potential plans B, C and D! Our aim is to ensure that our community can engage in the educational activities and high quality technical discussions that are the hallmark of our Flagship event with all accepted papers published and our sponsors and exhibitors able to update us on their latest developments.  We will communicate more in the coming weeks. Please visit the symposium website regularly for updates on this activity:  www.emc2020.emcss.org

We will also be working with our co-sponsored conferences to see how we can support them.

Be assured that the EMC Society is keen to reiterate the IEEE message about being safe and we have asked all Chapters to look at ‘virtual’ ways to bring our members together. If you would like to be involved or if you are a chapter officer and would like some suggestions, please get in touch. For example, we have a library of recorded Distinguished Lecturer talks and a Respected Speakers Bureau that might augment the experts you would bring to such a meeting.

More soon. In the meantime, stay safe and please get back to me if you have any questions, queries or suggestions.

With all best wishes,   
Alistair Duffy
President, IEEE EMC Society, 2020-2021
