A Platform for Cutting-Edge Innovation and Collaboration
CONCAPAN 2024 offers an array of keynote speakers, tutorials, and technical exhibitions covering diverse fields such as electronics, medical and biological engineering, computer sciences, and energy systems. Attendees will have the chance to explore the latest trends in areas like artificial intelligence (AI), sustainable energy, and digital transformation. This year’s convention promises to be particularly impactful as it will address how technology can be leveraged to solve some of the region’s most pressing social and economic challenges.
One of the highlights will be the keynote session titled “The Challenge of Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” by Francisco Bellas, a professor at Universidade da Coruña. With over two decades of experience in AI and robotics, Bellas is dedicated to advancing AI education. His insights into creating tailored curricula for pre-university students and his work on Intelligent Tutoring Systems for educators will provide valuable perspectives for those interested in the intersection of AI and education.

Engineering and Humanitarian Technologies in Latin America
The convention will also include discussions on humanitarian technologies in Latin America, focusing on how engineering can be applied to address social needs. This track will present examples of technology co-designed with communities, with topics ranging from water monitoring to energy projects and STEAM education kits. Such initiatives underscore the importance of using scientific and technical knowledge to benefit society, offering a hands-on approach to problem-solving that is essential for Central America’s unique challenges.
Humanitarian technology projects developed in IEEE Region 9 have become essential in showcasing the real-world impact of engineering on social issues. These projects bridge students with communities, helping them understand how electronics and semiconductor materials play a role in social development. This approach aligns with the idea that everyone contributes—from knowledge to technical skills—to foster sustainable solutions.
