Our Scope, Mission and Vision

Founded as IEEE’s first society in 1948, the Signal Processing Society is the world’s premier association for signal processing engineers and industry professionals. Engineers around the world look to the Society for information on the latest developments in the signal processing field. Its deeply rooted history spans 75 years, featuring a membership base of more than 20,000 deeply interested and involved signal processing engineers, academics, industry professionals and students who are all part of a dynamic global community – spanning 120 countries worldwide.

The Society organizes numerous conferences around the world every year, focusing on the innovations shaping the future of signal processing and the future of our world.
