Eva and Stuart, the joint Chairs of LAPC 2016 would like to invite you to participate in this successful series of two-day Antennas and Propagation conferences. Now holding its 12th annual event, LAPC 2016 will be held at Burleigh Court Hotel at Loughborough University, UK on 14th - 15th November 2016. For those who have a little longer to spare, there will also be an informal welcome drinks reception on Sunday 13th and workshops on the 16th November. Registration for these workshops will open closer to the date.

If you have attended before you will be aware of the excellent 4 Star conference venue and the special single strand format of our conference.  Delegates staying at Burleigh Court Hotel will have access to discounted room rates.

All accepted papers will be presented through Poster Presentation, allowing time for detailed discussions.  The conference program runs sequentially which means there are no other oral presentations or events during all the poster sessions.  Posters must be A0 portrait format and printed in colour. We offer an A0 poster printing service for £15.00 (including tax) so that you can avoid bring the poster with you. The poster electronic file must be sent to us well in advance of the conference.
