Six Decades Connecting Minds and Transforming the Future
Welcome to the digital home of IEEE Region 9’s history. As we celebrate our 60th Anniversary (1966–2026), we honor the legacy of the pioneers who built the engineering foundation of Latin America.
Here, you can explore the milestones, articles, events and personal stories that define our region. From the historic merger of the AIEE and IRE to reaching our record-breaking 25,000+ members (by december 25th 2025), every document in this repository is a leaf on our vast institutional tree.
