The exhibition will form an integral part of the event and will run throughout the duration of IMC21.

Our vision for the Congress is that it will provide a global platform for speakers and delegates to share in impactful and outstanding research, that will inspire new generations of microscopists and promote new collaborative directions across the diverse scientific disciplines contributing to the advancement of microscopy.

Our aim is to facilitate discussions around the societal challenges on the horizon whilst showcasing the critical role of microscopists and the influence that their work can have.
