Greetings SSIT Members,

It has been a busy month, with SSIT’s flagship conference, the IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society taking place in Puebla, Mexico from 18-20 September. We hope that many of you were able to attend (whether in-person or virtually), and we look forward to publishing a full conference report in next month’s newsletter.

This month, we are happy to bring you news of recently announced opportunities to engage in a prominent leadership role with SSIT (as Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions in Technology and Society publication) or to get involved with an upcoming conference (the IEEE ETHICS-2025 CFP is now live). In the “Announcements” section below, you’ll also find reports on recent events (the IEEE Quarter Tech Talk Table series) and the latest SSIT Standards Column (featuring Eleni Mangina on P7016.1 Standard for Ethically Aligned Educational Metadata in Extended Reality (XR) & Metaverse). Keep reading in the “Conferences” section to find out about a whole host of upcoming events that we hope will be of interest to many of you.

As always, we invite submissions of content for inclusion in future newsletters. Please send along announcements for and reports on local chapter meetings, events, or outreach activities. In addition, we would love to hear about upcoming events, webinars, and conferences relevant to SSIT members.

Please send proposed content via email to Heather.Love@uwaterloo.ca. The deadline for inclusion in the next newsletter is 11 October 2024.

Best wishes to you all.

Sincerely,

Heather Love (SSIT Newsletter EiC)

Aleksander Franiczek (SSIT Newsletter Associate Editor)
