IEEE SIGHT DAY

Join us for IEEE SIGHT Day on Monday 28 April!

In 2011, the SIGHT program was conceptualized and inaugurated in Kerala, India. Today, we have many reasons to celebrate the outstanding work accomplished by SIGHT volunteers. 

IEEE SIGHT Day 2025 will be held on Monday 28 April 2025, to foster a spirit of community for the global SIGHT network, increase awareness of IEEE SIGHT within IEEE, promote the opportunity to support SIGHT financially, and celebrate the impact SIGHT volunteers and groups are making.

Note to SIGHT Groups: If you host an event for SIGHT Day, please report it through IEEE’s vTools Events platform. This is a two step process – you will need to create the event first, and  report on its attendance afterwards. When you are creating an event in vTools, be sure to choose the “Humanitarian” category, and “SIGHT” sub-category. You should also list your SIGHT Group as the “host” for the event. Typing in the name or code of your SIGHT Group will allow you to select it.
