Abstract :
The 1981 International Microwave Symposium, Exhibition, and Workshops were held at the Bonaventure Hotel, Los Angeles, CA, during the week June 15-June 19, 1981. This year the Symposium was held jointly with the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). The Symposium continues to grow and this year was no exception. Records were broken in all areas of attendance. The Steering Committee decided to inaugurate a new one day only registration to help reduce costs for local Symposium attendees. Approximately 1500 people registered for MIT-S (including 200 one-day people) with a total joint registra-tion including AP-S and URSI of 2050. Over 1000 people registered for the exhibit only. Workshops registration was 450. Including exhibitors, it was estimated that approximately 4000 Microwave and Antenna people were at the Bonaventure during the week.
