Over the years, the conference took place in Hradec Králové (4×), Prague (3×), Olomouc (2×) and České Budějovice (1×). The invited speakers included leading figures of mass spectrometry such as Günter Allmaier, Frank Tureček, Dieter Gerlich, Miloš Novotný, James Bruce, Renato Zenobi, Michael Przybylski, Kevin Schug, Andrea Sinz, Helmut Schwarz, Magnus Palmblad, David Goodlett, Aleš Svatoš, Zdeněk Lánský, Karel Lemr, Michal Holčapek and Vladimír Havlíček.

Since the very beginning, the Czech mass spectrometry conference put a lot of emphasis on the active participation of graduate students and postdocs. The conference is a unique opportunity for young mass spectrometry scientists from Czechia and Slovakia to present at a local event, but in an international format and in front of wider Central European audience.

In 2022, the 10th Czech mass spectrometry conference is co-organized together with the 16th Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference. The joint meeting gives our modest scientific event broader international exposure and diverse European attendance. We trust that the next ten years will bring even more development and expansion and that the conference will establish itself as regional meeting in the field.
