Innovation is exhilarating, yet without direction, it can lead to spiraling costs and misplaced efforts. How often do fresh ideas lead to overwhelming brainstorming sessions, escalating expenses, and inflated hopes? Many leading corporations have implemented robust systems to streamline innovation endeavors, ensuring maximum ROI and minimized risks. Central to these systems is the strategic use of precise data. In this enlightening talk, we will delve into: - The significance of patent data in uncovering innovation prospects. - The spectrum of data essential for locating innovation opportunities. - Strategies to leverage this data for both immediate and future requirements. Join us to discover how data-driven insights can transform your innovation journey.

Grayson Randall will provide an overview of the IEEE MOVE Program. Join us to learn about the mission and technology of the MOVE program. The IEEE MOVE volunteers respond to the hardest hit disaster areas to quickly provide the power and communications to the people impacted by a disaster. When not responding to disasters, MOVE provides public outreach and STEM education at schools, universities, IEEE events and public events.

External factors unrelated to technology that include global pandemics and wars have influenced the development and applications of technology. As a result, the world has transformed itself and it continues to evolve and reinvent itself through technology. Technology is a key enabler of global transformation driven by comprehensive developments, often called “Megatrends.” Megatrends coalesce around multiple interacting or mutually dependent developments, last for a long time, and have broad impacts not just to technology, but to business, society and the environment. Simply put, they impact all of humanity. In this talk we present predictions of individual technology developments as well as megatrends.

2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference team presents THE RED DWARF STAR VIRTUAL SERIES Supplying the Fight Against Cancer Using Particle Accelerators at Nusano Leo Szeto Red Dwarf stars are the smallest and emerging in the universe. The Red Dwarf events represent the formation and growth of our IEEE Rising Stars Conference. The 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference team will be hosting a series of monthly events to show you a glimpse of what we are preparing for the conference. We'll be sharing some professional development and technical content throughout this series, as well as some of the networking experience. Join us on a series of informative and engaging events as we prepare for our large stage at the 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference, January 5-7, in Las Vegas at the Tropicana Hotel. The 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference registration is now open! We have an excellent line-up of speakers, sessions, workshops, and a couple surprises. Register now and take advantage of our Super Saver registration discount. Discount expires on November 12th. Register at: https://ieee-risingstars.org/ Leo Szeto, Director of Controls Systems and Electrical Engineering at Nusano Description: Radioisotopes have been used in medicine for decades. Doctors use tiny tracers like flashlights to light up areas inside the body, helping them target and treat disease. But today, the supply doesn’t meet the need. Logistical problems with radioisotope production are causing hundreds of thousands of patients in the US from getting the treatments they need to survive. Nusano aims to change the future of the industry by developing a system that will mass-produce radioisotopes at scale, using a breakthrough ion source technology combined with a particle accelerator, turning radioisotopes from scarcity to abundance.

MOVE is offering a 3-part, Virtual, Operations Class. This class is required for everyone interested in deploying on MOVE-1 or MOVE-2 truck or has a general interest in the program. It is required for new MOVE members and recommended as a refresher for those that have previously taken it. We discuss what to expect when deploying, what equipment is on the MOVE trucks and several safety procedures when working around the trucks. This is a virtual class that is broken up into 3 required 2-hour sessions. Now that MOVE has two trucks, differences between the trucks will be discussed. If you took this class prior to August 2022, there will be new material due to the 2nd truck differences. This is a 3-part virtual class. - Part 1: 30 Oct 2023 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET >> https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/376696 - Part 2: 06 Nov 2023 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET >> https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/376698 - Part 3: 13 Nov 2023 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET >> https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/376700 There will be a test after the third session - material will be provided for the test.
