Dear PCT enthusiasts,

Our 2023 IAPCT conference and Annual Meeting will take place from **Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th of October 2023**.

We will be hosting an _online conference_, to serve our international community. This year, we would like to have more space for collaboration and interacting.

- We will allow more space in the programming.
- In our call for papers this year (expected February), we will encourage participants to collaborate in a shared talk, discussion or a symposium.
- We will support and encourage pre- or post-conference small group meetings, live or online. Please get in contact with us if you want to organize such a meeting.

We still welcome your feedback on the last edition of the conference ([https://forms.gle/TZr7zVcSW3Rkjmni9](https://forms.gle/TZr7zVcSW3Rkjmni9)) or reply to this announcements with your ideas for the next edition.

Dear PCT fellows,  
For the IAPCT conference, 12-14th of October 2023, we welcome your proposals for scientific talks about PCT & MoL or other kinds of structured, small or large group meetings.

This year we would like to encourage you to collaborate with others in your field to deliver a symposium around a certain subject. Such a symposium offers more opportunities to balance talks (introductory talks - complex subjects), fosters collaboration and offers space for interaction.

Furthermore, we would like to support and encourage pre- or post-conference small group meetings, live or online, at various locations across the globe. Please get in contact with us if you want to organize such a meeting.

If you want to discuss your ideas for your submission beforehand, feel free to reach out to any of us at the iapct board.

**The deadline for initial submission of proposals is May 15th, 2023**

The submissions should include the following information about the proposed presentation:

Title of the presentation/symposium:  
Author(s):  
Time requested: 30 min, 20 min, other (including questions):

Description of intended content (250-500 words):

Use the submission form at: [Call for abstracts - iapct.org](https://www.iapct.org/events/2023_call_for_abstracts/)

We will discuss proposals end of May/start of June to be able to sketch the outline of the program before Summer.
