Technical innovation and access to that information is a key value of IEEE membership. IEEE includes many unique technical organizations, active in the areas of publications, conferences and building technical communities.
Societies
Most IEEE members choose to add value to their membership by joining one or more IEEE Societies. Benefits include access to current information, opportunities to network with peers, and enhancement of the worldwide value of your profession. Many IEEE Societies offer their members online, full-text access to their publications (availability varies by IEEE Society).
Computer Society
Founded in 1946, it is the largest of the 39 societies of the IEEE.
Vision: Be the leading provider of technical information, community services, and personalized services to the world's computing professionals.
The Society is dedicated to advancing the theory, practice, and application of computer and information processing technology. Through its conferences, journals, local and student chapters, distance learning campus, technical committees, and standards working groups, the Society promotes an active exchange of information, ideas, and technological innovation among its members. The Society maintains close ties with the US Computing Sciences Accreditation Board and Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, monitoring and evaluating curriculum accreditation guidelines.
The Society maintains a service centre office in Tokyo, Japan; a publications office in Los Alamitos, California; and its headquarters in Washington, DC.

Communications Society
The Society sponsors publications, conferences, educational programs, local activities, and technical committees with a common interest in:
- All aspects of communications science, engineering, and technology.
- Applications that use signals to transfer voice, data, image, and/or video information.
- Theory and use of systems involving all types of terminals, computers, and information processors; all pertinent systems and operations that facilitate transfer; all transmission media; switched and unswitched networks; and network layouts, protocols, architectures, and implementations.
- Meeting new market demands in systems, products, and technologies.

Industrial Electronics Society
The Industrial Electronics Society through its members encompasses a diverse range of technical activities devoted to the application of electronics and electrical sciences for the enhancement of industrial and manufacturing processes. These technical activities address the latest developments in intelligent and computer control systems, robotics, factory communications and automation, flexible manufacturing, data acquisition and signal processing, vision systems, and power electronics. The society continually updates its program of technical activities to meet the needs of modern industry.

Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society
EMBS has been serving the needs of Biomedical Engineers throughout the world since the early 1950's.
The field of interest of the Society is the application of the concepts and methods of the physical and engineering sciences in biology and medicine. This covers a very broad spectrum ranging from formalized mathematical theory through experimental science and technological development to practical clinical applications.

Apart from the ones mentioned above IEEE also offers a whole lot of other societies such as:
Technical Councils
Technical Councils are groups of Societies working together in broad areas of technology. Councils sponsor activities which benefit individuals in all of the member Societies.
Technical Communities
Technology is constantly evolving. In order to quickly respond to new innovations IEEE has a variety of technical communities and activities.
