Where Students and Young Professionals Come to Connect and be Inspired

The IEEE Rising Stars Conference is the event where students and young professionals from all over the world gather to get inspired, network and advance their careers. The 2021 conference will move into the cloud and become global. Rising Stars started at the Riviera Hotel, moved to the Excalibur, and then to the Tropicana Hotel. Each move enabled the conference to grow and increase the impact on the young professionals and university students we serve.
