Welcome to the 33rd International Conference on Ion Mobility Spectrometry in Miami, Florida, US. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has grown from specialized detection devices to high performance analytical instrumentation used in academic research and in a broad field of applications. IMS has also become an enabling feature for chromatography and mass spectrometry to measure the otherwise impossible. The annual conference of the International Society for Ion Mobility Spectrometry (ISIMS) serves as the essential meeting among researchers and application scientists in IMS and related fields worldwide. The ISIMS conference facilitates sharing of the latest research achievements and fosters networking and new collaboration opportunities across academia, industry, and government.

Networking is an important aspect of the conference. ISIMS conference is attended by world experts in instrumentation, ion chemistry, engineering, modeling, and a wide range of applications. ISIMS has a diverse demographic, with attendees from academic, industry and government, and has a vibrant early career community. The conference showcases cutting edge research and novel applications. The short course, which precedes the conference, gives an excellent training to all aspects of IMS, including theory, different IMS types, and tandem systems.

ISIMS 2024 is organized by Francisco Fernandez-Lima, John Berry, Kenneth Furton, Natalia Soares Quinete (Florida International University, US), Chris Prüfert (University of Potsdam, Germany), and Maggie Tam (Canada Border Services Agency, Canada).

Looking forward to seeing you in Miami!
