History

With more than 40 years of tradition, the Pan American Congress on Traffic, Transportation, and Logistics Engineering (PANAM) is the largest and most prestigious conference and research in Latin America in these areas of knowledge. It addresses a wide range of research, practice, and teaching topics. Held every two years since its inception in 1980, it is regularly attended by hundreds of expert transportation researchers, consultants, decision-makers, and transportation and logistics professionals.
