We invite you to participate in the 22nd International Congress of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology, to be held in Banff, Canada, September 15-18, 2024.

In 2019, we were honored and excited when Banff, Alberta, Canada was named the site for the IATDMCT 2020 Congress. We were excited to have the Congress hosted in North America and at the Brazil Congress in 2019 we accepted the IATDMCT flag. Although we were unable to move ahead with an in-person event in 2020, we are more excited than ever to welcome you now to the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Banff, Canada!

IATDMCT 2024 will bring together leading international scientists from the disciplines of clinical biochemistry, pharmacy, environmental toxicology, occupational medicine, pharmacology, analytical chemistry, analytical toxicology, and the forensic sciences. The theme of the congress is "Exploring New Frontiers in TDM and Toxicology".
