Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference 2009

LAPC 2009 will be held on 16 - 17 November 2009

Paper Submission Deadline EXTENDED to 17th July 2009!

Due to many requests we have extended the LAPC 2009 paper submission deadline to 17th July. We have had an excellent response in terms of the numbers of papers submitted so far and we are sure that LAPC 2009 will be the biggest and best LAPC event so far. As we have had so many papers this year, we have decided to increase the number of prizes. There will now be two prizes for Best Paper and two for Best Student Paper. These will be awarded at the banquet.

We are delighted with the outstanding calibre of our Keynote and Invited Speakers. The complete of 17 Speakers can be found here.

LAPC 2009 is now in its 5th year and is continuing to grow in popularity. To maximise the opportunity for productive networking, we continue the successful format of a series of high-grade Keynote Speaker talks followed by open poster sessions co-located with high quality exhibitors. With no parallel oral sessions you miss nothing! A special poster session providing information on the research activities of each participating academic research group will be an added feature this year. As always the event aims to be a cost effective opportunity for the presentation, discussion and promotion of research on contemporary topics in our specialities, with accommodation at the excellent 4 star Burleigh Court hotel facilities included in the registration fee. Top 10 reasons to attend LAPC 2009.

The Paper Submission Process is open. The deadline for the complete 4 page paper has been extended to 17th July 2009. Note, the template for LAPC 2009 papers is a two column format and is available here.

On Wednesday 18th November, there will be FREE computer simulations workshops by CST and an EMPIRE (by IMST). Please see the Workshops page for more information.

If you are attending from a University and would like to promote the work by your Group, please visit our University Poster page.

After several requests, we have opened the Registration page to allow delegates to take advantage of the weak British pound.

Due to the fantastic support from our existing Sponsors (see below) as well as new companies participating for the first time, the Exhibition Stands in the three poster rooms are now SOLD OUT. This reflects how the series of LAPC conferences is contnuing to grow in popularity each year and is an outstanding networking event.

Note, it is IEEE policy to only include papers in the proceedings when at least one author has registered for the conference. If you are travelling from outside the EU, please note that a visa application may take some considerable time and you are advised to apply as soon as possible. Please contact lapc@lboro.ac.uk for a letter confirming that you have registered.

LAPC 2008 featured a record number of papers submitted and many were rejected to ensure excellent quality of all the papers included in the proceedings. There were also a record number of delegates attending. We would like to thank every author, co-author, the TPC, the Keynote and Invited Speakers, delegates and exhibitors who have helped make LAPC 2008 such a successful and enjoyable event. We would like to give special thanks to our sponsors (see below). We look forward to seeing you again in Loughborough in November 2009.
