Recommendation
It is recommended that the IEEE create a ranked and categorized database of speakers that Sections and Chapters can use to aid in finding and scheduling IEEE events. The associated user interface would allow for searching by distance and by time in order to improve event coverage and efficiency.
.
Comments on Recommendation
One consistent challenge for Sections and Chapters is finding and scheduling speakers for IEEE events. The Distinguished Lecturer program provides a helpful list of potential high-profile speakers, but most of the speakers for smaller scale local events are found through personal or industrial connections. Gaining awareness of the activities of nearby regions involves manually querying multiple websites or accessing L31 reports of past events.
.
The proposed database would draw on such existing data and improve its visibility in order to better identify potential speakers, as well as making it easier to reduce repetition and improve travel scheduling for speakers.
