I am still reflecting on the incredible experience at the ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting in Hamburg, Germany last month listening to groundbreaking science at the talks, posters and in informal chats. Connecting with members of our community provided me with tremendous insight and inspiration. This highly successful annual meeting was created through the vision of Malin Parmar and Agnete Kirkeby in partnership with the members of the 2024 Program Committee, and under the leadership of Amander Clark. This hallmark annual event, along with the scientific programming the ISSCR offers throughout the year, would not be possible without the incredibly talented group of ISSCR staff members who support our program organizers. Their contributions every day to our Society cannot be overstated.
