The Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (CLAPEM), organized by the Bernoulli Society (Latin American Chapter) is the main event in probability and mathematical statistics in the region. It takes place every two/three years and attracts researchers and students from the most important Latinoamerican centers. It has already been organized in Venezuela, Uruguay, México, Brasil, Chile, Argentina, Cuba and Peru.
