What Our Organizers Are Saying

From Committee support, to paper submission, to publishing in IEEE Xplore®, we know what it takes to support the creation of a successful technical program. We have 20+ years’ experience handling the unique needs of many types of engineering programs.

Working with the MCE/TPM team was a great experience!

Along the way there were many challenges that included a rapid timely ramp up of a new conference with a unique technical program format, diverse topics and global participation. The IEEE Photonics technical program management (TPM) team worked tirelessly with everyone involved with the conference at every step to ensure that all the technical programming and scheduling of events was professional and on-time making the event a great success that exceeded all our expectations.

Enhances my volunteer experience…

As a volunteer the TPM enhances my volunteer experience, as it reduces some of the uncertainty in the process through their support. This avails more capacity for me to do a better job during the volunteer process during or before the conference. They also provide significant wisdom as they serve as the memory in the system from which we can draw wisdom and good practice.

The staff provide invaluable insight…

They help on numerous fronts. They help spot talent within the conference – who is really keen to volunteer and contribute.  The staff provide invaluable insight into the members of the subcommittees.
