The organization committee of the 8th IWA Odour & VOC/Air Emission Conference that will take place in Hangzhou, China is arranging a couple of pre conference workshops for the 13th of October 2019, a day before the event commences. These workshops are aimed to people wishing to have some introduction on odour management before the conference starts. This way it will be a more productive trip for newbies and attendees who wish to have a short introduction on the subjects discussed during the conference.

   Although these are common workshops on odour management, there is nothing ordinary about the people that are participating in them. If you have been around odour management for a while, you probably know Richard Stuetz, Günther Schauberger, Martin Piringer, Jay Witherspoon, Mel Suffet, Jean-Michel Guillot and Weifang Li, and other not so known but with interesting profiles such as Ademir Abdala, and Dr. Jing Gen.

   The program for the next edition of the “Air and Odor Management Conference and Technology Showcase” (AOMCTS 2019), organized by the Canadian company Scentroid and the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering of the University of Toronto, is now available. This conference and exhibition will take place in Toronto the 19^th and 20^th September 2019.

   After previous editions in Los Angeles, OMCTS 2017, and Toronto 2015, the organizers have decided that is time to held a new Conference in Toronto. In this occasion,under the theme "Air pollution in the cloud: Transformative sensing and data mining for cleaner air".
