In celebration of SRI’s history of innovation:
Two new IEEE Milestones to be unveiled

Friday, November 13 | 9:30–11:30 AM PT
@ the Computer History Museum

Join us for a special morning celebrating technology history.

SRI will be honored with two new IEEE Milestones — designations that recognize technical achievements of lasting historical significance. We can’t reveal what they are just yet. But we can tell you this: 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 IEEE Milestones to be awarded to SRI
Remarks from the President of IEEE, Tom Coughlin, 2024 IEEE President
A history of the IEEE Milestone Program from Brian Berg, head of the program
A moderated panel featuring some of the people who were in the room where it happened, 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.
