To help ensure that your conference authors can meet open access guidelines from their funding agencies, reviewing the IEEE Author Posting policy may address their concerns and make them comfortable submitting papers to your conference.

Section officers can spread the word that IEEE offers a FREE online course especially designed for entrepreneurs and independent consultants.
