Throughout the year, these committees also play a major role in determining which events (conferences, workshops, etc.) are technically co-sponsored IEEE Communications Society by ComSoc. Notable leaders of the IEEE Communication Society include Misha Schwartz, Robert Lucky and Paul Green.

It operates about a dozen working groups and committees on the development of industrial standards. The Communication Society s technical committees define and implement the technical directions of the Society.

The Society participates in educational activities (including distance learning) and in accreditation of higher education programs within its fields of interest (including Computer Science and Computer Engineering). The Society focuses on two principal areas: the science of, and education about, communications engineering with the goal of advancing the state of the field; and professional development so that the status of its members is raised along with the standards to which the profession is held. Founded in 1952 with the formation of IRE’s (the Institute of Radio Engineers) Professional Group on Communications Systems (PGCS), IEEE Communications Society has evolved into a diverse group of global industry professionals with a common interest in advancing all communications technologies. The Communications Society oversees the publication of four periodical magazines: The Communications Society oversees the publication of six scholarly journals. Co-sponsored Journals: The Society organizes several conferences every year such as the International Conference on Communications and GLOBECOM, It coordinates the operation of several councils, task forces, and technical committees e.g., the Internet Technical Committee.

These committees - networks of professionals with common interests in communications - usually meet twice a year at major conferences. The IEEE Communications Society is a professional society of the IEEE.

As a fundamental element of the Society all members are invited - and encouraged - to participate in one or more of its technical committees. It is also known by the abbreviation ComSoc.
