Originally
entitled the "International Pacific Conference on Automotive Engineering-IPC"
the first IPC was held in November of 1981 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Joining
all existing SAE member societies in countries surrounding the Pacific.
Because of the event's success, the FISITA Pacific member societies
chose to organize this one-of-a-kind event every two years, increasing
participation to 11 societies in the Asia Pacific region. Changing the
name to reflect a broader audience, the Asia Pacific Automotive Engineering
Conference - APAC still embodies what the original
IPC stood for.
