The IEEE Central Illinois Section (CILS) invites all IEEE members, students, and young professionals in the area to attend our final Networking Meetup of the year in Champaign, IL.

• Event location: Big Grove Tavern, 1 E Main. St., Champaign, IL 61820

The “networking event” series was created in the summer of 2024 as a way for IEEE members to meet and discuss their favorite ideas in a relaxed setting. Since then CILS has hosted monthly networking events in Champaign, Peoria, and Bloomington-Normal; plus a recent event in Springfield. To locate us at the venue, ask the front desk for the IEEE meeting.
