Region 6 (Western United States) was established in 1963 when AIEE and IRE merged to form IEEE.
Predecessor to Region 6 existed in AIEE; AIEE lists Districts 8, 9 and 15 containing Sections that are currently in Region 6.
Like other Regions, an annual expo, called WESCON, was formed and existed from 195x-2005 when it was dissolved. WESON alternated between the Los Angeles area and the Bay area. At its peak in the 1980's approximately 50,000 attendees.
The Region is divied into five areas: Central, Northeast, Northwest, Southern, Southwest.
