The program will consist of different workshops and seminar designed to enhance essential leadership, managerial and soft skills of the volunteers, professionals, graduated students and others participants.

The program will consist of two workshops, as well as seminars on Leadership Training, Project Management and transition to GOLD.

Students Branch Sessions (SBS)
This is the main time for discussion between SB representatives. During the sessions, each delegation will present itself, there will be a discussion forum and interactive presentations on important topics dealing with SBs' day-to-day operations.

Social programme
IEEE means serve and enjoy. We made sure that there will be a team-based City Rally, allowing for all participants to head back with the best possible vision and knowledge about Lisbon, while having fun and getting to know other participants. We have also provided long coffee and lunch breaks to allow for more interaction, as well as two night-time events to take a break from the days' work.

The IEEE 125th Anniversary Celebration Gala Dinner
Join us as we celebrate 125 years of innovation and ingenuity of IEEE. Our gala dinner will be held jointly with the participants of the Region 8 Meeting.
