Evolutionary changes would not have been possible without the work of engineering and technology pioneers, whose work inspires others to turn today’s impossibilities into tomorrow’s realities. That’s why we are bringing the IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit & Honors Ceremony (IEEE VIC Summit)—a unique showcase event—to San Francisco, California, USA on Thursday, 25 May 2017 at The Palace Hotel, to explore these subjects. The IEEE VIC Summit will be a day-long event examining visions of future possibilities, the technical innovations needed, and the challenges to be overcome. The Summit will consist of a keynote talk, a panel exploring entrepreneurial directions, and focus talks on the future in areas such as health care, internet security, power, AI, and discussions surrounding improving the overall quality of life. The day will culminate in the evening with a celebration of legends, leaders, and giants in the field of technology whose work has inspired countless advancements that we commonly use today.
