IEEE MAPCON Announces Call for Papers Deadlines

IEEE Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation Conference (MAPCON 2024) will be held from December 09 – 13, 2024 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), Hyderabad, India. This is the third edition of the MAPCON, which is a joint flagship conference of IEEE MTT and IEEE AP societies in India. The conference will be held in-person (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 2024 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, Young Professional, Women-In Engineering, SIGHT, and start-up initiative activities.
