The IEEE Region 10, also sometimes referred as the Asia Pacific Region, comprises of 57 Sections, 6 Councils, 17 Sub-sections, 515 Chapters, 60 Affinity Groups and 958 Student Branches. It covers a geographical area stretching from South Korea and Japan in the north-east to New Zealand in the south, and Pakistan in the west. With a membership of 107,154, it is one of the largest regions in IEEE.

With the members spanning 165 countries of the globe, the Region 10 Congress gathers members of the Asia-Pacific Region together every two years to network, learn about the latest IEEE programs, and share strategies for enhancing membership. This is the biggest IEEE event for the students, young professionals, women in engineering (WIE) and life members in the region with ample opportunities to explore ideas, develop skills and discuss issues in their profession. The Region 10 Congress was first held in 2002 in Singapore, attracting 57 delegates. The event has since been held in Hong Kong (2004), Beijing (2005), Chennai (2007), Singapore(2009), Auckland, New Zealand (2011), Hyderabad (2013), Sri Lanka (2015) and Bangalore (2016).

In order to fulfill IEEE’s mission of advancing the theory and practice of electrical, electronics, communications and computer engineering, as well as computer science and related areas, Region 10 activities are directed to developing and maintaining regional entities for the best interests and benefits of the IEEE members in the region.

To achieve that mission, the Regional activities include:

• To formulate goals and objectives for the Region
• To plan Regional operations, including budget preparation and approval
• To report officer, financial operation and meeting reports to the Regional Activities Department
• To plan and implement programs in support of the local organizational units in meeting the needs of the members of the Region
