Distinguished Lecturer Program

Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) connects Senior IEEE ComSoc members, who are renowned communications technology experts, with ComSoc chapters so they can share their knowledge, expertise, and insights into the future of communications technology.

During the Distinguished Lecturer Tour (DLT), speakers address at least three groups in three separate locations within a reasonable geographic proximity to each other.

Groups eligible to participate in a DLT include: 

• Established IEEE ComSoc Chapters
• Local conference organizers
• IEEE ComSoc members in areas where no IEEE ComSoc Chapter exists

For 2020, IEEE ComSoc will offer the DLT in an online, virtual format.
