Standards Week

This is the week when we come together and focus on EMC Standards, something that impacts EMC practitioners worldwide. We’re having meetings that will be open to people in person in Phoenix and remotely. You’re welcome to attend and we encourage you to do so. How much do we want you to be a part of Standards Week? We’ll be holding a special Happy Hour on Thursday afternoon (see below for details)—everyone who sits through to the end of one of the standards meetings listed below will receive a ticket. If one of these meetings seems to overlap with your professional interests, please join us! Standards are part of the life blood of the EMC Society, and they don’t happen by accident. They happen because people like you care enough to create high quality standards that lay out the very best practices of the discipline. We hope you’ll join us!

Standards Recognition

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 7
12:00 – 12:30 PM
Location: Ask the Experts area in the Exhibit Hall

Please join us as we recognize the working group members who were instrumental in publishing new IEEE EMC Society Standards in the past year. Writing a new standard, or even revising an old one, is no trivial task. So, we’d like to recognize those who put in so many volunteer hours and contributed their extensive technical expertise to making it happen.

We will be celebrating the official publication of:
IEEE 1897 “Recommended Practice for Location of Power-Line Gap Interference Sources”

IEEE 2718 “IEEE Guide for Near Field Characterization of Unintentional Stochastic Radiators”

Standards Happy Hour

THURSDAY AUGUST 8
4:00 – 6:00 PM
Location: 129B – Phoenix Convention Center

Open to all who join us for one of the Standards Meetings this week, while supplies last.

Come join us for a chance to mingle and network with professionals who care about standards and technical excellence just as much as you do. As thanks to everyone who sits around a U-shaped conference table for an hour or two, we’d like to provide you with a more relaxed and informal setting to chat. Drinks and heavy appetizers will be available with ticket.
