  2. Tutorials and Keynotes at Conferences (where possible) - They will be collected by the organizers of conferences, with some help/guidelines from the Multimedia Committee.
  3. Online Courses from TCs - All contributions in this category will be prepared by a TC or a group of TCs within a cluster. Each contribution won’t be longer than 1 hour, in the form of a presentation with embedded audio comments. Longer events (e.g. a 4-hour tutorial) may be split into 1 hour-long segments. The solicitation and collection of material should be led by the cluster delegates and the Multimedia Committee.
  4. Webinars from TCs - Please see below the detailed guidelines for the IES webinar proposal and information
  5. Spontaneous Contributions by IES members.

IES Webinar proposal guideline and information

IES Multimedia Committee set a schedule, day, and time for recording based on topics and great interests of IES members. Here are more details regarding Webinars: 

  • Duration: It is 45 min presentation +15 min Q&A in each session. If the content should last for more than one hour, it could be presented in two or more sessions.
  • Date: It could be any date based on presenter availability. Currently, IES is running 2 webinars every 2 months.
  • GoToWebinar: This tool has been used to run IES webinars. About one week prior to the scheduled webinar, it will be a test session for presenters, to test the PC settings, to explain the interface, and to answer all questions.
  • IES Online Resource Center: The recorded content will be posted on IES Online Resource Center in 3-4 weeks afterward.

To propose a webinar through one of the IES TCs, the potential presenter should provide the following materials in the proposal:

  1. Title: the title of the presentation that reflects the subject of the webinar
  2. Abstract: Send an updated abstract (100 to 200 words) to the Committee if there is any updated
  3. Presenter's photo and biography: Send a short bio with a photo for presenters for webinar advertising

All materials should be sent to one of the TC chairs that the presenter feels to be most appropriate regarding the subject of the presentation.

Multimedia content will be posted in three venues:

1- IES Channel in IEEE.tv: https://ieeetv.ieee.org/channels/ies
2- IES Resource Center: https://resourcecenter.ies.ieee.org
3- IES ITeN eNews website: https://iten.ieee-ies.org
