About LAMC

The IEEE MTT-S Administrative Committee approved an initiative to create the IEEE MTT-S Latin America Microwave Conference (LAMC), to be held in the second week of December, every two years, starting in 2016. LAMC has a general scope on RF and microwave engineering and technologies and aims to achieve a high level of technical quality. LAMC moves to different locations in the region (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, etc.) and is technically and financially sponsored by IEEE MTT-S. LAMC is a biannual conference: the prior editions took place in Puerto Vallarta, México (2016), Arequipa, Peru (2018), Cali, Colombia (2021, virtual), and now in San Jose, Costa Rica (2023).

The IEEE MTT-S Latin America Microwave Conference has the following general goals:

  • To encourage technological, scientific, and academic development in Latin American countries
  • To promote participation in global MTT-S events
  • To encourage the development of local MTT-S activities
  • To increase MTT-S membership in Latin America
  • To increase local interest and perception of the relevance of MTT-S with respect to local needs (cf. MTT-S Humanitarian Initiative)
