The International Conference of the IEEE Engineering Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) is the largest international biomedical engineering conference. In 2024, over 1,100 students and young professionals attended the conference in Orlando, FL, USA, from 15 to 19 July. EMBS Student Activities Committee (SAC) is involved in the annual international conference of the society, to aid students in finding a suitable space and providing programs that support personal and professional development. In addition, the Committee is dedicated to establishing a global network for raising awareness of bioengineering careers and facilitating collaboration between students and leaders, thereby making a significant contribution to the scientific community. Thus, this article focuses on the EMBS SAC events and initiatives that occurred in the 46th EMBC 2024, and the possible improvements and future initiatives moving forward. These activities included networking lunches, evening reception, student paper and chapter competitions, student volunteer program, panels and workshops, funding, CV database and support, professional headshots, and interactive booths.
