HTC-15 will be the premier conference in hyphenated separation techniques in 2018. With its rich history of successful meetings since 1990 HTC will be hosted at Cardiff City Hall in the heart of the capital city of Wales. The conference has always delivered presentations from internationally renowned experts both from Industry and Academia combined and this will be further enhanced in this edition through joint chairing of the Scientific Committee by Tom Lynch and Peter Schoenmakers.

As previously, HTC-15 covers all fundamental aspects, instrumental developments and applications of hyphenated techniques. Over the three days of the conference there will be three parallel session, including one dedicated to early career researchers (ECRs). Please check the website regularly for updates on the programme and these sessions.

Besides the core scientific programme, the symposium will host an attractive technical exhibition where companies active in the field will present their latest developments in instrumentation, software and applications related to the hyphenation of separation, detection and sample preparation techniques topped with technical seminars.

There will be the usual networking opportunities outside the scientific sessions with a full social programme and conference dinner which will be held at the Museum of Wales.

On behalf of the Organising Committees I look forward to welcoming you to HTC-15 in the historic city of Cardiff and to City Hall, it is the centrepiece of one of the world's finest civic centres, an area of impressive buildings, landscaped gardens and tree lined avenues.
