The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) announces the 2026 Class of Distinguished Lecturers and Distinguished Industry Speakers for the term of 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027, which are noted below. 

The IEEE SPS Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Program provides a means for Chapters to have access to well-known educators and authors in the fields of signal processing to lecture at Chapter meetings. While many IEEE Societies have similar programs, the SPS provides a substantial amount of financial support for the Chapters to take advantage of this service.

Welcome to ICASSP 2026 – Where Signals Meet Intelligence! Join us May 4–8 in Barcelona, Spain, for the premier event in signal processing excellence: the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP). Discover groundbreaking innovations, explore emerging research, and connect with experts from around the world – all in a place where signals meet intelligence.

IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership of the IEEE. It honors members with an outstanding record of technical achievements, contributing importantly to the advancement or application of engineering, science and technology, and bringing significant value to society. Around late November of every year, the new class of IEEE Fellows is announced. Hopefully, you will consider nominating someone this year!

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 Technical Committees that support a broad selection of signal processing-related activities defined by the scope of the Society. Technical Committees are actively involved in awards, conferences, publications, and educational activities, and provide technical advice to the Society's leadership.
