Informed by discussions at IEEE Sections Congress 2014, customer surveys, and ongoing feedback, the global IEEE Meetings, Conferences and Events (MCE) management staff has been working on ways to better support the full scope of your conference needs. Recently, they focused on providing data that you can use to drive decisions and communication, understanding that you value transparency into conferences and events occurring within your Section. This information can be used as a tool for you to:

• promote IEEE activity in your area;
• provide value to your members through local events;
• strategically partner with IEEE conferences;
• perhaps offer conference sponsorship from your Section.

MGA and MCE announce that real-time and on-demand conference activity reports are now available to all IEEE Sections on the new "IEEE Conferences" tab, which has been added to the Section Vitality Dashboard. A tutorial is also available within the dashboard. The new Conference Dashboard contains three parts:

• conference activity by geographic unit sponsor;
• upcoming approved conferences by location;
• conferences pie chart by Region.
