The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) promotes the advancement of science, technology and applications in communications and related disciplines. It fosters presentation and exchange of information among its members and the technical community throughout the world. The Society maintains a high standard of professionalism and technical competency.[2] The IEEE Communications Society is a professional society of the IEEE.

Overview

The IEEE Communications Society sponsors several conferences every year such as the International Conference on Communications (ICC) and Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM),[3] and operates over 200 local chapters around the world.[4] It coordinates the operation of several councils, task forces, and technical committees, e.g. the Internet Technical Committee. The society participates in educational activities (including distance learning) and in accreditation of higher education programs within its fields of interest (including Computer Science and Computer Engineering). It operates about a dozen working groups and committees on the development of industrial standards.

The IEEE Communications Society headquarters is on the 17th floor of 3 Park Avenue in New York City

History

Founded in 1952 with the formation of IRE’s (the Institute of Radio Engineers) Professional Group on Communications Systems (PGCS), IEEE Communications Society has evolved into a diverse group of global industry professionals with a common interest in advancing all communications technologies.[5]
