Announcement

Dear HKSMS members,

We are delighted to invite you to the 9th World Chinese Mass Spectrometry Conference (9th WCMSC), co-hosted by HKSMS and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), and co-organized by the Chinese Mass Spectrometry Society (CMSS), the Taiwan Society for Mass Spectrometry (TSMS), and the Chinese American Society for Mass Spectrometry (CASMS). This conference brings together leading Chinese scientists, researchers, industry pioneers, and young scholars from around the globe to discuss the latest breakthroughs, technological advancements, and applications in mass spectrometry.

The 9th WCMSC will be held at PolyU from 6-8 November 2026. HKSMS members can register for the event for free (if attending the conference sessions only). If you would like to attend the conference banquet and receive the full conference package as regular participants, a discounted rate is available for members. For more information, please visit our conference registration page (https://events.polyu.edu.hk/9thwcmsc/registration). Please note that walk-in registration is generally not allowed, so members are encouraged to register as soon as possible. Early-bird registration ends on 31 August 2026 (Monday).

In addition, the 9th WCMSC will host an online poster session. Participants will prepare e-posters and 3-minute video presentations covering four sub-topics in mass spectrometry, and Best Poster Awards will be selected for the four sub-topics. HKSMS members are strongly encouraged to participate in this e-poster session to share their recent work with the mass spectrometry community! The deadline for abstract submission is 31 August 2026 (Monday). You may refer to our website for details regarding the e-poster session and abstract submission (https://events.polyu.edu.hk/9thwcmsc/abstract).

For the latest updates, please visit our official conference website at https://events.polyu.edu.hk/9thwcmsc.

Should you have any questions regarding registration, abstract submission, or other details of the 9th WCMSC, please feel free to contact Dr. Patrick Wong, Council Member of HKSMS and member of the Organizing Committee of the 9th WCMSC, at hksms.info@gmail.com.

We look forward to welcoming you to PolyU this November for an inspiring and fruitful conference!

Best regards,
Liang Zhang
President, HKSMS

About the Society
The The Hong Kong Society of Mass Spectrometry (HKSMS) was established in 1998. The Society aims to serve as a forum for exchange of views about mass spectrometry, and to promote the understanding of mass spectrometry among professionals and the general public. By arranging seminars and meetings on mass spectrometry, the Society hopes not only to foster this rapidly expanding field of science within Hong Kong, but also to serve as a link to societies in other countries and the Mainland which share the same interest.

HKSMS is a non-profit making Society run by the Society's Council on a voluntary basis. The Council consists of the President, the Vice-President, the Honorary Secretary, the Treasurer, and four other ordinary members elected at the Annual General Meeting. In addition, a maximum of two student members may be co-opted into the Council.

Existing Society members comprise academics or professionals from governmental institutions, universities and industry (full members), full-time students in academic institutions (student members), corporate members and honorary members.

Activities of the Society
The Council organises events such as scientific meetings, seminars and short courses that are relevant to mass spectrometry for Society members, and other activities at the initiation or request by the members. Joint events may be organised with universities and relevant corporations. Mass spectrometrists of international standing will also be invited to give presentations in Hong Kong. Some of these activities are opened to non-members but may be at an extra charge. The Annual General Meeting is held in June each year, which is usually preceded by an afternoon of scientific seminars. Every year the society supports members to attend overseas conferences.
