How to get involved in IET events

 
At the IET, our events are powered by a global community of engineers, academics, practitioners and volunteers who step in to share knowledge and create experiences that help others grow.

There are many ways to contribute to the engineering conversation, and we’d love to hear from you.

Share your expertise. Shape the conversation. Be part of what’s next.

Speak at an IET event

We’re always looking for industry experts, innovators and practitioners to speak at our conferences. 

By speaking at an IET event, you can: 

  • Share your insight with global engineering audiences
  • Highlight emerging challenges or opportunities in your field
  • Build your professional reputation and visibility
  • Engage with peers, researchers and future collaborators
  • Shape the future direction of your discipline.

Join an organising committee

Our event committees bring together volunteers from across engineering and technology to design programmes, identify relevant topics and ensure our events deliver real, practical value. 

Get involved if you want to: 

  • Influence themes and content across key IET events
  • Help curate expert speakers and technical sessions
  • Strengthen your leadership and committee experience
  • Collaborate with peers across industry and academia.

Get in touch

If you’d like to explore becoming a speaker or joining the organising committees for our events, the best thing to do is send us an email at events@theiet.org.
