IEEE Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation Conference, MAPCON-2023, will be held from December 10-14, 2023, at The Forum Celebration & Convention Centre of Wyndham Hotel at Ahmedabad, India. This is the second edition of MAPCON co-sponsored by IEEE MTT-S and IEE AP-S. The conference will be held in physical mode. This conference provides an excellent international platform for sharing of state-of-the-art research/technologies in the field of microwaves and antennas, wherein many national/international eminent personalities will share their vision, expertise and knowledge. MAPCON-2023 will include a wide range of technical sessions, invited talks, workshops, tutorials, special sessions, student design competitions, industry sessions, exhibits, professional meetings, tours and networking events. It will also hold Ph.D. initiative activities, YP, WIE, SIGHT and start-up initiative activities.
