Let the Magic Begin
In just a few days, from December 3-7, attendees and experts from all over the world will convene at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California in USA for the premier international conference - IEEE GLOBECOM 2012.
No matter where you're going to be, attending in person right on the spot, or just be part of it, the magic of the event has indeed begun. Check our social media sites to see for yourself --
• The number of "Likes" on the IEEE GLOBECOM Facebook page has grown to over 5,500. Stay informed with the latest news and activities for this big event by liking the page.
• Get acquainted with all 6 distinguished Keynote speakers on social media sites or ComSoc blog or GLOBECOM website. Among them is Vinton Cerf, the celebrated computer scientist most commonly known as one of "fathers of the Internet,” who will not only deliver the conference’s opening keynote address, but also participate in several panel discussions exploring the expansion of the latest IPv6, smart grid and cloud computing protocols and applications.
• For registered attendees who have a Facebook account, you can now select a GLOBECOM Facebook Banner to be placed on your Facebook cover. Check out the customized banners at our ComSoc Media Center page.
• Start a conversation on Twitter with #globecom and #comsoc hash tags!
• Connect with fellow attendees and join the conversation at Yammer, an enterprise social network - www.yammer.com/ieeeglobecom
• Participate in the Ask the Experts Live Twitter Event during our IEEE GLOBECOM conference in Anaheim, California. Tweet your questions from anywhere in the world with #GLOBECOM and #ComSoc, and get answers about Communications Technologies from ComSoc's top Experts.
• Watch the IEEE GLOBECOM Welcome video at IEEE ComSoc YouTube site.
• Try something fun right at the event floor by picking up a QR Code temporary tattoo, and apply to your skin. Let your fellow attendees scan the code and check out what's happening "now" at the conference. You instantly create the interactivity with other attendees and social media. If you're anywhere else, no worries. Simply scan the QR Code (in above picture) and see where it takes you as a surprise.
There are a lot going on at this year's IEEE GLOBECOM. Whether you're going there by land, sea, air, or the magic carpet, "the magic of global connectivity" is happening already on the social media network. It's time to explore.
For more details about the conference, visit the IEEE GLOBECOM 2012 website for the entire program.
Stay tuned for live photos, blogging, streaming, tweeting during the conference 3 – 7 December 2012, right from Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California.
See you soon!

IEEE Communications Society and EastWest Institute renew collaboration agreement during 3rd Worldwide CyberSecurity Summit in New Delhi
More than 300 participants from 22 countries convened at the EastWest Institute’s 3rd Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit held on 30-31 October 2012 in New Delhi, India. Among them are experts, stakeholders and decision-makers from industry, government and academia, with the common goal to advance international policy to promote the security, stability and safety of cyberspace.
As with the first two, this 3rd Summit is sponsored by the EastWest Institute, in partnership with its co-sponsor IEEE Communications Society.
As technical innovation has skyrocketed, the global economy has become increasingly digitalized. Cyber crime exploiting the technologies is on the rise, but the agreements, standards, policies and regulations we need to secure cyberspace lag far behind. The event signifies a call for "a global agreement" on how to protect the key infrastructure of the digital world.
Vijay Bhargava, president of the IEEE ComSoc, signs a MOU with EWI President John Mroz during 3rd Worldwide CyberSecurity Summit in New Delhi, India. IEEE ComSoc and EWI continue to work close together with the world's technical and policy leaders toward solving the challenges of worldwide cybersecurity.
