IEEE-USA is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated 2024 Congressional Visits Day (CVD), scheduled to take place on April 10-11, 2024. This annual event, a cornerstone in the technology and engineering community, serves as a platform to elevate the voices of engineers, scientists, mathematicians, researchers, educators, and technology executives in Washington, D.C.

CVD plays a vital role in driving dialogue and advocating for issues pertinent to IEEE members in the United States. It’s a unique opportunity for participants to engage directly with elected officials, fostering discussions on legislation and policies that shape the technology landscape.

Objective and Agenda:

The primary objective of CVD is to introduce participants, representing a diverse spectrum of expertise and industries, to elected officials. The event begins on April 10th with an immersive training session and policy briefing conducted by IEEE-USA’s government relations professionals. Participants will then convene on Capitol Hill on April 11th, engaging in meaningful discussions with legislators and/or their staff, focusing on pertinent technology policy matters in Congress.

CVD Training:

Recognizing the importance of accessibility, IEEE-USA is offering virtual training sessions alongside the in-person training. These sessions will be livestreamed and available for on-demand viewing, ensuring all participants have the opportunity to benefit from the valuable insights shared.
Russ Harrison, Managing Director of IEEE-USA, expressed his enthusiasm for the event, stating, “CVD stands as a pinnacle event for our community, enabling us to directly advocate for issues crucial to the advancement of technology and engineering. It’s a platform where we unite, amplify our voices, and contribute to shaping policies that drive innovation and progress.”
