The Mexican Society of Architects and Structural Engi-neers - sewc Group Mexico, is delighted to invite you to participate in the sixth edition of the Structural Engineers World Congress – sewc 2017; which will be held in Can-cun, Mexico, from 14th to 17th November 2017 (www.sewc2017.org). The conference, jointly organized by the Faculty of Architecture, the Institute of Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México - unam, and the Mexican Society of Structural Engineers - smie, in partnership with other State Universities and Associations of Mexico, will pro-vide the forum for Academics, Architects and Practitioner Structural Engineers around the world to share, discuss and review actual problems in the broad area of civil en-gineering and architecture. The aim of the conference is to bring together, and enhance dialogue among, world-wide professionals from a broad range of disciplines, covered by Architects and Structural Engineers. Emphasis would be given to bring the interested community from Latin America and to foster regional and international cooperation.
Mexico is devoting significant resources and efforts to maintain and rehabilitate out-of-date or damaged in-frastructure as well as to build new sustainable infra-structure, adequate in size but technologically advanced and efficient. This has been done under the leadership of Mexican architects and engineers who are contin-uously looking for new methodologies and processes, and for advanced technologies to improve safety and reduce costs and impact on the environment. This congress is particularly significant because works of architects and engineers will highlight areas and top-ics of future research, as well as latest developments in architecture and structural design.
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
The official language of the conference is English. Si-multaneous translation from English to Spanish will be provided at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and Keynote Lectures.

VENUE
sewc 2017 will be held at Cancun. Resting on the north-east corner of the Yucatan Peninsula in the state of Quin-tana Roo, Cancun was a part of the ancient Mayan civi-lization and is still considered the gateway to El Mundo Maya (the Mayan World). Cancun is located 1,700 km from Mexico City and continues to meet the needs of its over 3.3 million annual visitors. Cancun has the distinc-tion of being the one Caribbean destination with the in-frastructure, modern amenities and service philosophy to
rival leisure destinations worldwide. Cancun is home to the world’s major hotel chains, the best restaurants and first class tourist services. Cancun International Conven-tion Center (Cancun ICC) is located at the heart of the hotel zone in “Punta Cancún”, just 20 minutes away from the International Airport, the second busiest in Mexico and the largest in Latin America, with excellent interna-tional connectivity.
Punta Cancún is the main business area, including our facility and more than 4,237 nearby hotel rooms within walking distance. It also offers a wide variety of services, such as banks, money exchange houses, restaurants, nightlife entertainment, which offer special prices for con-gress, meetings and exhibitions participants.
We invite you to experience the union of business, ecolo-gy and culture in a world class destination!http://cancunicc.com/about-us/
