The next 8th World Congress of the Digital Olfaction Society will take place on December 5-6, 2024 at Ap Tokyo Yaesu in Tokyo, Japan. The Digital Olfaction Society (DOS) hosts events approximately every two years. The first DOS event took place in Berlin, Germany and since then, five more events have taken place, predominantly in Tokyo, Japan.

  The previous edition, the 7th Digital Olfaction Society World Congress, took place on November 29-30, 2022 in Tokyo - Japan, in-person & online. The objective of DOS is to gather, share, and complete the knowledge recently established about olfactory digitization.

   A new software suite, PlumeMapper, has been recently introduced to simplify collecting and analyzing ambient odour data. Air Environment developed this tool to streamline field surveys, replacing traditional pen-and-paper methods with mobile and desktop platforms.

   PlumeMapper offers users a user-friendly solution, eliminating manual transcription errors and providing easy access to data stored in the cloud. Key features include adherence to established standards such as European EN16841, tailored forms created by Air Quality Experts, and advanced filtering options for data analysis.
