SRI will be honored with two new IEEE Milestones — designations that recognize technical achievements of lasting historical significance. The room will be filled with some of the people who made these innovations real. 

What to expect: 

  • Doors open at 9:30 am; coffee and light fare will be served 
  • Welcome and opening remarks from David Parekh, CEO of SRI 
  • The unveiling of two new IEEE Milestones
    • Invention of SRI’s Computer Mouse, 1961-1968
    • First Robotic Telepresence Surgery System, 1987-1995
  • Remarks from 2024 IEEE President, Tom Coughlin
  • A history of IEEE Milestone’s from Brian Berg, IEEE Region 6 Milestone Chair 
  • A moderated panel led by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author John Markoff 

This is a rare chance to hear directly from the people who shaped these breakthroughs — and to be there when their contributions are formally written into the historical record.
