Abstract
We are coming off one of the most difficult years in human memory, yet the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) managed to perform quite well in spite of the pandemic and its fallout. In 2020, our flagship ISTAS conference and the cosponsored conferences were huge successes, with record attendance, partly because going virtual allowed wider participation. Our new publication, IEEE Transactions in Technology and Society , was launched successfully with a stellar set of articles that are already attracting citations, and there are increasing number of articles ready for submissions. IEEE Technology and Society Magazine continues its decades-long run as the key forum for thoughtful articles about the social implications of technology. The Newsletter has become a vital in-house organ connecting members and keeps us informed about society activities. Our Distinguished Lecturer program has reached thousands of people worldwide. Two of our volunteers have received significant IEEE honors: Lew Terman won the Pemberton Award and Kalyan Sen was named an IEEE Fellow. These are just some of the highlights.
