SoutheastCon 2021, originally scheduled as a face-to-face conference in Atlanta, GA on 10 – 14 MAR 2021, will now be a fully virtual, due to uncertainties in travel and meeting restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The full virtual event will take place on the same days and times as the scheduled physical event, 10 – 14 MAR 2021.

Technical papers will be presented by the authors in a live streaming format and audience participants will have the opportunity to ask questions in real time. A change this year for the Technical section is that we will be using EDAS as our paper submission and registration software. This will hopefully alleviate delays which occurred in previous years in getting papers uploaded to IEEE Xplore.

The Deadline for the Call for Papers for SoutheastCon 2021 has been extended. (https://attend.ieee.org/southeastcon-2021/wp-content/uploads/sites/213/Flyer-SEC_V5_deadline-extended.pdf) The new dates are now available on the conference website. Please visit our website at https://attend.ieee.org/southeastcon-2021/call-for-submission/call-for-papers/ to upload your papers to the EDAS portal.

The student hardware competition will still be a hardware competition. Teams will compete from their respective schools via live synchronous streaming.
