Nearly 100 participants from 26 countries met July 24–28, 2022, in Panama City, Panama, for the inaugural Pan American Ceramics Congress (PACC) combined with the Ferroelectrics Meeting of Americas (FMAs). Originally scheduled for July 2020, PACC-FMAs was rescheduled to this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

PACC-FMAs brought together a wide variety of experts from academia, industries, research institutes, and laboratories to discuss current state-of-the-art and various technical challenges in research, development, engineering, manufacturing, and application of ceramic and glass materials. The conference’s collegial atmosphere provided the perfect forum for information exchange on current status and emerging trends for various technologies in the Americas.
