Greetings from Sections Congress!
IEEE Sections Congress was a huge success! SIGHT not only had a booth, but also several speaking sessions at the event.
We had a chance to meet existing and prospective SIGHT volunteers from around the world.
In September, we will be sharing the files we presented at the event, as well as new resources for SIGHT groups.
