  2. Brochures showing the venue layout, room accommodations and other facilities must be scanned and included in the application packet. Be sure to indicate expected conference attendance.
  3. Must be submitted on IEEE budget worksheet, which can be obtained here. Download the Financial Reporting Workbook. Expected surplus should be not less than 20%.
  4. Budget must include $750 to cover advertising expenses in IEEE CI magazine.
  5. Identify local attractions conference attendees might find interesting. It is highly recommended that brochures describing attractions be scanned and included with the application packet.
  6. Contact the CIS Vice President for Conferences to coordinate obtaining the MOU.
