I extend a very warm welcome to each and every one of you to CYTOCON 2024, the 54th Annual Conference of the Indian Academy of Cytologists being hosted by AIIMS, Jodhpur. We promise you a delectable academic feast covering all the ‘hot’ topics in Cytopathology with orations, lectures and symposium along with poster and platform presentations. An added attraction for the young postgraduates is the “PG Quiz” with attractive prizes for the winners. The conference is a great opportunity to socialize with yours peers, teachers and friends from various parts of the country and abroad and your physical presence will add value bilaterally! Dr.Poonam Elhence, the Organizing Chairperson, and her team are working hard to make this event very memorable and together we look forward to your active participation. Looking forward to meeting you all in person or online,
