Come join us! The IEEE Denver Section and its Chapters organize a number of very successful programs through the year including:
- Annual Picnic
- Monthly Dine and Learn featuring speakers from a wide range of technical areas
- IEEE lab tours, for instance Coors and Lockheed Martin
- “Build something cool” for Grade 6-12 Students (over 80 people attended!)
- IEEE GreenTech & Region 5 Student Conferences in April, 2026
- Robotics design competitions
- Monthly Executive Meetings (open to all members)
….and much more to come!
We need the support of our members to continue to grow our events each year. Please consider volunteering your time. The Denver section has many Standing Committee positions available and we are always looking for new candidates for our biannual Officer elections. Even small contributions can be a great help! You don’t need to be an officer to work with us. Organize a tour, put on a special event, bring a workshop to the area, or mentor a student. If you can picture it, let’s make it happen! You’ll get to network with a great team of people from a wide collection of companies and universities across the Denver Metro Area.
