17th Latin American Theoretical Informatics Symposium

About

LATIN (Latin American Theoretical Informatics) was born in 1992, when a group of Latin American researchers, under the leadership of Imre Simon (São Paulo, Brazil), launched the first of a series of symposia in theoretical computer science, to be held triennially in Latin America. Since 1998 it has been held biennially: Valparaiso, Chile (1995); Campinas, Brazil (1998); Punta del Este, Uruguay (2000); Cancún, Mexico (2002); Buenos Aires, Argentina (2004); Valdivia, Chile (2006); Búzios, Brazil (2008); Oaxaca, Mexico (2010); Arequipa, Peru (2012); Montevideo, Uruguay (2014); Ensenada, Mexico (2016); Buenos Aires, Argentina (2018); São Paulo, Brazil (2020); Guanajuato, Mexico (2022); Puerto Varas, Chile (2024).

We are excited to have LATIN2026 in Florianópolis, a paradise in the south of Brazil!
