Our Conferences
IEEE Canada has three annual conferences, a biennial symposium, and an annual leadership summit. The Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE), the Canadian Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC) and the International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM) are normally held in each of the three areas on a rotating basis. Since 2014, IEEE Canada has also offered the International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC), this initiative further joined hands with IEEE Region 8 and 9 in 2019. Now, it is rotating among IEEE regions 7, 8 and 9. Additionally, WIE ILS is an annual summit which started in 2018 with its first edition conducted in Toronto.

What CONAC Does
There are a significant number of technical meetings held each year under the auspices of the IEEE. These meetings, whether large or small, entail a great deal of effort on the part of the organizing team of the conference or symposium. Some technical meetings are annual affairs with a long-standing organizational history, others are infrequent or one-time events.
