THE SAN DIEGO ADVANTAGE

The IEEE Consultants’ Network of San Diego (CNSD) is comprised of independent technology consultants who are specialists in all forms of electronics, communications, chip design, computer software, defense technology, electro-mechanical hardware, power systems, new product development, quality assurance, reliability, technology management, business consulting, business development, and intellectual property law.

Because San Diego is considered a world center for Aerospace, RF, Defense and Communications Systems technology, you’ll find a number of our members are conversant in these areas.

2023 is a rebuilding year for the IEEE Consultants' Network of San Diego. During the pandemic, the network like a lot of organizations faltered. We had limited meetings over the past three years.

We have restarted in person meetings in 2023 and are currently working on rebuilding membership. We have a dedicated leadership team that is committed to making the Network a major resource for our members and for the San Diego technical community.

We have an email newsletter that periodically is sent out (about once a month). If you want to receive this email to find out about upcomming events and other topics of interest please join our list.

MAXIMIZE REVENUE AND MINIMIZE ARGUMENTS
FROM YOUR CONTRACTS

Rob Cogan - Continuum Law

This presentation will address using a contract to set up a good working relationship, avoid arguments, and make getting paid a smooth process. You can define measurable criteria, account for foreseeable difficulties ahead of time, and reduce or eliminate miscommunication. Problems unique to software contracts, e.g., exclusivity, will be addressed. Many of these principles can be used even when you are a small supplier to a big company. A smooth, successful contract maximizes your potential for profit.
