LETTER FROM THE IEEE PRESIDENT AND AWARDS BOARD CHAIR

Dear IEEE Members, Honorees, Colleagues, and Guests:

Welcome to the 2017 IEEE VIC Summit and Honors Ceremony Gala!

The inaugural IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit presents a unique opportunity to meet, mingle, and network with peers and some of the top technology “giants” in the world. We have created a dynamic one-day event to showcase the breadth of engineering by bringing innovators, visionaries, and leaders of technology to the Silicon Valley area to discuss what is imminent, to explore what is possible, and to discover what these emerging areas mean for tomorrow. The day sessions will look to the future of the industry and the impact engineers will have on serving the global community. The Summit’s activities culminate with this evening’s IEEE Honors Ceremony Gala.

Tonight’s awards ceremony truly reﬂ ects the universal nature of IEEE, as the visionaries and innovators we celebrate herald from around the world. We are proud of the collective technical prowess of our members and appreciate the rich diversity of the engineering, scientiﬁ c, and technical branches in which our colleagues excel. At IEEE, we are focused on what is next—enabling innovation and the creation of new technologies. IEEE, as a global community, has for decades seen the challenges facing our world. Time and time again, IEEE members have risen to face those challenges and have leveraged the power of technology to improve the human condition. Technology can overcome tough challenges. It always has. And at no other point in history have we had such opportunities for technical innovation available to us, ready to shape our world.

The IEEE Honors Ceremony is a celebration of those visionaries, leaders, and legends—our members and colleagues who continue to deﬁ ne technology’s state of the art. And it is our hope that the IEEE VIC Summit will become IEEE’s most external-facing annual event, looking to the future of the industry and sharing the impact engineers have on serving the global community. This year we are also excited to celebrate a milepost in IEEE history: It is the 100th anniversary of the IEEE Medal of Honor, IEEE’s highest award. Established in 1917, its recipients include Guglielmo Marconi, Claude E. Shannon, William Shockley, Robert M. Metcalfe, and Gordon E. Moore—and we are so pleased that Kees Schouhamer Immink will be given the Medal of Honor this evening.

On behalf of IEEE’s Board of Directors, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our generous awards sponsors and to all of the nominators, endorsers, volunteers, and professional staff for their dedication to making our Awards Program such a success. We would like to acknowledge all of this year’s speakers, panelists, and well- qualiﬁ ed award nominees—the diverse array of educators, engineers, scientists, innovators, visionaries, leaders, entrepreneurs, and practitioners—who exemplify the mission of the IEEE of advancing technology for the beneﬁ t of humanity.
