On behalf of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Mass Spectrometry (ANZSMS), the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation (IMSF) and its affiliates, we look forward to welcoming you to the 25th International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC) to be held August 17-23, 2024 in Melbourne, Australia.

The conference will cover the full breadth of mass spectrometry, from fundamentals and instrumentation through to the applied chemical and biological sciences. Delegates and their families will have ample opportunity before, during or after the Conference to explore and experience Melbourne and beyond, including our spectacular arts scene, world-class sporting calendar, unique local wildlife, Indigenous Australian experiences, and renowned culinary delights. For many delegates, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Melbourne to attend the conference, and then to stay for some additional time to experience all that Australia and New Zealand have to offer.

ANZSMS has an established policy to provide equal access to resources and opportunity across all aspects of our society (https://www.anzsms.org/gender-equality/), and is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of respect, diversity, equity and inclusion, including for gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, race, religion, political affiliation, national origin, age, and socio-economic status. This policy will be central to the organizational principles of IMSC2024.
