 o the future of the IEEE. IEEE Day celebrates the first time in history wh
 en engineers worldwide gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884.\n\
 nDistinguished Speaker: Dr. Rick Kazman. Dr. Kazman will present on how st
 udies show that LLMs support divergent thinking and design documentation\,
  while human expertise remains essential for meaningful architectural desi
 gn. AI can enhance\, but not replace\, the role of architects.\n\nThis tal
