IEEE SA Section End of Year Dinner 2024

Following the 2024 AGM from 5:35pm to 6:30pm, please join us for the IEEE SA Section end of year dinner celebration!

We are really looking forward to meeting in person this year with a sit-down dinner at the Adelaide Pavilion (https://www.adelaidepavilion.com.au).

The dinner will be from 7-10 pm on the 6th of December. The 3-course meal includes drinks and it is subsidised for IEEE members and their partners.

Please purchase your tickets by the 1st of December so we can confirm numbers.

Our guest speaker Associate Professor Mathias Baumert will be presenting on the topic of Sleep for Engineers

Summary: Engineers or not, humans spend about one-third of their lives asleep. How we sleep affects how we do when we are not sleeping. In this presentation, I will revisit milestones in sleep research over the last century from an engineer’s perspective, from electroencephalograph to smartwatch.
