ATTENTION:
With COVID-numbers rising dramatically in the past few weeks in Belgium, our government decided last Friday to prohibit all indoor events hosting more than 200 people until the end of January 2022. Under these circumstances, the HTC conference can, unfortunately, not take place.
As our goal has always been to host a live event, wherein people can get together in an enjoyable atmosphere to network and share their newest scientific finds, we have therefore decided to postpone the event until May 2022. The new dates for the HTC-conference, that will take place in-person, are from Wednesday 18 May until Friday 20 May, with short courses on Tuesday 17 May.
We will stay in the new venue, the Aula, because of its better ventilation capacities, as announced earlier. All abstracts that have been accepted for keynote, oral and poster presentations will be maintained in the program. Social events, such as the beer dinner and the conference dinner, will take place as planned originally. Our plenary speakers have moreover already confirmed that they will join us on these new dates.
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and hope you will join us for the HTC conference on these new dates. We look forward to hosting you in the beautiful city of Ghent, that will be even more enjoyable in Spring.

The conference will encompass three parallel sessions consisting of
plenary lectures, keynote lectures, tutorials, oral and poster-flash
presentations. One of the parallel sessions will be dedicated to young
emerging scientists. The symposium will also host an attractive
technical exhibition where vendors will present their newest instruments
and developments, topped with technical seminars.
The conference will cover fundamental and practical aspects of liquid-phase and gas chromatography,
including UHPLC-MS, 2D-LC, GC(×GC)-MS, SFC, etc. The program will
include topics such as sample preparation and hyphenation, emerging
detectors, method development and artificial intelligence, column
technology and stationary-phase developments, miniaturization and chip
technology, dealing with data complexity, mining and curation. The conference will
also address bottlenecks and describe trends and new technologies for a
wide range of applications, including (bio-)pharmaceuticals,
macromolecules, medical and clinical applications, food analysis and
safety, environmental studies, energy, green approaches, etc.
