The Conference venue will be Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI” which was fortunate to have Alexander Popov as the first elected Director. However Alexander Popov contributed also to other areas of electrophysics and electromechanics.

Catatan:
Kebetulan acaranya di adakan di kampus LETI (Leninggrad Elektrotechiceski Institute) tempat kuliahnya si-MAURITS WATTIMENA, dan Figur Alexander POPOV sangat besar berpengaruh di Rusia terutama di Kampus LETI, karna dialah produk LETI dan menghabiskan seluruh hidupnya mengabdi di LETI. Dunia mengetahui bahwa Penemu Radio yaitu Marconi, tapi sebelum Marconi menemukan Radio, Alexander POPOV sudah melakukan percobaan tersebut, tapi tidak pernah dipatenkan sehingga dunia lebih mengenal Marconi daripada Alexander POPOV. Dunia boleh mengetahui Marconi penemu Radio, tapi buat Rusia maupun Kampus LETI, hanya ada seorang dan yang pertama melakukan percobaan tersebut, hanya seorang ALEXANDER POPOV
