IEEE AESS Distinguished Lecturer Program: Speaker Request

This form is a request for society support, scheduling arrangements are made separately with the speaker. Prior to submitting this request, you must confirm the availability of the Distinguished Lecturer including the dates requested.

Eligibility for Travel Support

IEEE Entities (AESS Chapters and IEEE Sections)

AESS Chapters and IEEE Sections are eligible to host an AESS Distinguished Lecturer for regular or special meetings.
AESS may provide travel support for the Distinguished Lecturer, typically covering airfare in accordance with IEEE travel policies.
Airfare support guidelines are as follows:
- Up to $1,500 USD for travel within North America or the European Union.
- Up to $2,500 USD for extensive international travel.
- Exceptions to these limits may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The local host (IEEE Section or Chapter) is responsible for covering:
- Hotel accommodations
- Venue costs
- Local transportation
- Meals
Arrangements where a Distinguished Lecturer delivers multiple lectures during a single trip are encouraged and may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Non-IEEE Entities (Universities, Research Organizations, and Companies)

Non-IEEE organizations may also host an AESS Distinguished Lecturer.
To qualify for AESS travel support, the lecture must:
- Be open to AESS members, and
- Be advertised to AESS members (for example, through IEEE vTools).
If these conditions are not met, the inviting organization must cover 100% of the speaker’s expenses, as agreed upon between the speaker and the host organization.

Request Submission Requirement

All Distinguished Lecturer visits must be submitted through the Speaker Request Form so that the AESS Vice President for Education can track and approve Distinguished Lecturer activities.

Note, it is required to submit a post-event report if you are requesting a DL at your event.

Expenses

IEEE Entities (AESS Chapters and IEEE Sections)

AESS may cover the Distinguished Lecturer’s airfare in accordance with IEEE travel policies.
Airfare guidelines:
- Up to $1,500 USD for travel within North America or the European Union
- Up to $2,500 USD for extensive international travel
- Exceptions may be considered case-by-case
The local host is responsible for hotel, venue, local transportation, and meals.

Non-IEEE Entities (Universities, Research Organizations, Companies)

AESS may provide airfare support if the lecture is open to and advertised to AESS members through IEEE vTools.
If the lecture is not open or advertised to AESS members through IEEE vTools, the host organization must cover 100% of the speaker’s expenses.

Expense Apportionment

Indicate how these costs will be apportioned between the AESS and host(s) – chapter, section, or organizer.
