Prestige Lecture Series

IET Prestige Lecture Series

Attending an IET Lecture is your opportunity to see the future of engineering. IET Lectures are free to attend and are a key highlight of the IET’s events calendar.

Showcasing the latest ideas and technologies, the ten lectures cover a range of engineering disciplines, ranging from general interest to the more technical.

The President of the IET begins his year in office with an inaugural lecture every October. Many of the lectures were established in memory of engineers who achieved exemplary and ground breaking work in their day.

The speakers invited to give IET Lectures are of that caliber – innovative, forward-thinking and at the top of their game.

Our 2012 videos are free to watch via iet.tv, see the column on the right of this page to select which video you wish to watch.

Tweeting during our Lectures

One of the latest additions to our lectures is the live tweeting that takes place. As a lecture attendee – it’s exciting to be a part of the online conversation during the evening. Also if you are not at the event, it’s really exciting to watch it unfold via Twitter!  If the event is also being streamed live on IET.tv then Twitter makes an ideal companion to the streaming.

At IET Prestige Lectures we have tried to make tweeting and following the conversation as simple as possible. We have put together some top tips for successful tweeting from an IET lecture.
