Each year the International Meteor Organization organizes a four-day conference where about 100 meteor enthusiasts from around the world attend lectures and share their experience. Since the founding of the International Meteor Organization, the International Meteor Conferences (IMCs) have guaranteed the vital personal contacts between its members.
The next edition (IMC 2024) will take place in Kutná Hora, Czech Republic, from Thursday evening, September 19, until Sunday noon, September 22, 2024. Please visit the official IMC 2024 website for more information.
