DESCRIPTION:Some people believe that standards and innovation are opposites
 . Is this true? Is this a misperception? In other words\, is it possible t
 hat standards actually support innovation? The panel brings together stand
 ardization experts to explore the relationship between industry innovation
  and standardization. The panel discussion aims to address these issues an
 d more.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nMehmet Ulema\, Manhattan College (Moderator)\n\nAl
 ex Gelman\, NetOvation\n\nGlenn Parsons\, Ericsson\n\nRudi Schubert\, IEEE
  Standards Association\n\nStephen Shew\, Ciena\n\nFollowing the discussion
 \, Rudi Shubert will discuss an IEEE Standards Association use case - Indu
 stry Connections – Sustainable Technologies Standards are an enabler of 
 emerging technology solutions and a key to the interoperability of product
 s and systems. The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) has published thou
 sands of standards\, developed by IEEE volunteers across the spectrum of t
 echnology areas covered by IEEE technical societies. In recent years\, the
  IEEE SA has gone beyond standards\, using its well established consensus 
 building capabilities to address new technology issues at very early stage
 s to incubate the next generation of standards based solutions. Additional
 ly\, the societal context of technology has become increasingly important 
 in establishing the foundational considerations for future standardization
  initiatives. From the ethical considerations of artificial intelligence t
 o new initiatives in sustainability and renewable energy\, IEEE SA program
 s are working to stay ahead of rapidly evolving technologies and societal 
 priorities. These programs are open\, transparent and inclusive\, welcomin
 g the ideas and contributions of all. This presentation will provide an ov
 erview of IEEE SA programs relative to sustainability\, IEEE initiatives t
 o broaden participation of the sustainability community and emerging issue
 s of interest to the CCECE community.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Canadian Confere
