Message from the Chairperson

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee, we are delighted to announce that the 14th International Conference on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS 2026) will be held from November 15 to 20, 2026 in Guangzhou, China. We warmly invite you to take part in this conference!

Since its inception, the international LIBS conference series has served as the premier global platform for scientists, researchers, engineers, and industry leaders to exchange groundbreaking ideas, present cutting-edge research, and foster collaborations that drive the different application fields. LIBS 2026 in Guangzhou will proudly continue this esteemed tradition, bringing together the brightest minds from across the globe to share insights, discuss challenges, and envision the future of our rapidly advancing discipline.

Guangzhou, a dynamic metropolis blending millennia-old history with breathtaking modernity, provides a perfect backdrop for this gathering. As a key cultural and economic hub in South China, it offers a unique experience where tradition meets innovation—a theme that resonates deeply with the ongoing evolution of LIBS technology. We are confident that the city’s renowned hospitality, world-class facilities, and rich cultural tapestry will make your participation both professionally rewarding and personally memorable.

We are looking forward to seeing you in beautiful Guangzhou in November 2026.

With warmest regards,

The LIBS 2026 Organizing Committee
