Have you ever wanted to help your community but weren’t sure how? Or maybe you love technology, consider yourself a bit of an introvert, yet still want to meet people who share your interests? Here’s your chance! Join us in helping organize the IEEE Greentech 2026 and Region 5 conference in Boulder, CO, events focused on innovation, collaboration, and sustainability with student competitions and industry engagement. You don’t have to be a university student; we need everyone’s help to create opportunities, build amazing projects, and have fun competing together!

Additional information:

The 2026 IEEE Region 5 Congress, Annual Business Meeting and Student Competitions will be held in Boulder, Colorado March 27 – 29, 2026. On Friday, March 27, there will be a reception from 6 PM onwards.

The IEEE Green Technologies (GreenTech) Conference is a premier international event. GreenTech serves as a dynamic platform for practicing engineers, industry leaders, researchers, and students to present cutting-edge work, interact, and explore latest advances in various areas related to the design, analysis, control, and management of the electric power grid, renewable energy systems, inverter-based resources (IBRs), and large-scale electrification. This will also be held in Boulder.

For someone new or growing in IEEE, we can point you to concrete entry points, such as volunteering at Region 5 and GreenTech events, joining organizing teams, competing or mentoring in student competitions, or connecting you with local section leaders, so that you can quickly plug into meaningful roles rather than just attending as a passive participant.

Ian

Ian MacMillan is the General Chair for the 2026 IEEE Region 5 Congress and Student Competitions in Boulder and serves as Webmaster for the IEEE GreenTech 2026 conference, bringing together regional leaders, students, and industry around cutting‑edge green technologies and professional development. He is also the Region 5 Director‑Elect for 2026–2027, which means he helps guide IEEE activities and strategy across the entire region, including conferences, student programs, and section support.

Getting to know Ian is valuable because he sits at the intersection of technical innovation, conference organization, and IEEE leadership; he understands how ideas turn into sessions, committees, and funded initiatives, and he is actively inviting people to reach out if they want to learn more or get involved.
