Mérida depicts much of the splendor of Colonial Mexico. The Spanish 
Conquistador Francisco de Montejo founded Mérida in 1542 on the site of a 
former Mayan city he destroyed. Splendid regional dishes and traditional 
music and dances local to this region are found in restaurants, theatres and 
shops housed in palatial mansions along Paseo de Montejo - a boulevard 
fashioned after Paris' Champs Elysée. Progreso, Mérida's port city, is only 
30 kilometers north. Being centrally located, Mérida is a practical hub to 
explore all of the splendors of the Yucatán Peninsula.
The aim of the sponsors is to promote progress in the broad field of 
mechanics by (1) exposing mature engineers and scientists as well as 
advanced graduate students to new research findings, techniques, and 
problems and (2) providing opportunities for personal interactions through 
formal presentations and informal conversations. It is the only conference 
sponsored by the American Academy of Mechanics.
The Pan American Congresses of Applied Mechanics (PACAM) are held every two 
years, always in a Latin American venue, at a time when few other 
conferences are scheduled. The previous Congresses were held in Rio de 
Janeiro, Brazil in 1989; Valparaiso, Chile in 1991; São Paulo, Brazil in 
1993; Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1995; San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1997; Rio de 
Janeiro, Brazil in 1999, Temuco, Chile in 2002, and Havana, Cuba in 2004. 
Approximately 150 people from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and 
Europe attended the last one.
