IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, and the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) will hold the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP 2024), 27-30 October 2024 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in Abu Dhabi, UAE. ICIP 2024 will be a hub of innovation and learning - examining how AI-based approaches in the field are bringing opportunities, as well as challenges.

To address rapidly growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for signal processing and data science, the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has launched a new special series on AI in Signal & Data Science, to be published within the IEEE Journal on Selected Topic in Signal Processing (JSTSP).

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) conducts webinars presented by professionals in the field of signal processing and related technologies on an ongoing basis. Webinars are also hosted periodically by SPS Technical Committees, and other network of communities. Visit the Upcoming Events page to see a list of our upcoming webinars and join us! Visit the SPS BLOG for more related content on a regular basis!

With the IEEE Annual Election and several Society elections underway, a friendly reminder to review and adhere to the IEEE election campaign policies which apply to all IEEE elections.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society Chapter of the Year Award will be presented for the 14th time in 2025!

In accordance with the Bylaws of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, I am writing to solicit nominations for the Awards Board and the Nominations and Appointments (N&A) Committee. This year, the Society will be filling TWO positions on the N&A Committee for the term 2025-2026 and TWO positions on the Awards Board for the term 2025-2027.

Earlier this year, the Signal Processing Society Board of Governors approved the formation of the SPS Industry Board. The Industry Board reports directly to the Board of Governors, ensuring that an industry perspective is reflected in all society operations, including technical directions, conferences, publications, membership, education, and awards.
