It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Nagpur, popularly known as the
‘Orange City’ and Tiger Capital of India. It is one of the fastest growing
metropolis and the third largest city after Mumbai and Pune in Maharashtra. The
city is located on the eastern part of the state and is the geographical
‘center’ of India (country’s ‘Zero-Milestone’ is located here). It is surrounded
by several national parks that are habitats of tigers.
The conference venue is IIM Nagpur campus and will be held from December 14–18,
2026. MAPCON 2026 will provide a comprehensive international platform for the
exchange of cutting-edge research and advancements in electromagnetics,
microwave engineering and antenna and propagation.
The event will bring together leading researchers, engineers, technocrats and
practitioners from around the world to share their knowledge and expertise. The
inaugural edition of MAPCON was held in Bangalore from December 12 - 15, 2022,
and was a grand success, attracting over 800 delegates from government, private
and academic organizations worldwide. The conference has grown steadily in the
subsequent editions held in 2023 (Ahmedabad), 2024 (Hyderabad) and 2025 (Kochi).
In 2026, we anticipate an even larger participation, with a projected attendance
