WMS 2024 opened with a Meet the Exhibitors reception hosted by our Local Organising Committee, which was followed by the first two of our eight industry symposia. The atmosphere as delegates arrived from all over the world and caught up with old friends and people they had only met via email is one of the things that makes WMS Congresses so special. We were joined by the Prague Film Orchestra, who played hits from the movies and then enjoyed our Networking Reception with night-time views over the city.
