The 2027 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Gas Sensing and Artificial Olfaction will bring together leading experts, early-career researchers and industry professionals to discuss the latest advances in gas sensing technologies and artificial olfaction systems.

    The conference will take place from 21 to 26 February 2027 at the Sheraton Fairplex Hotel & Conference Center in Pomona, California (USA). As with other Gordon Research Conferences, the format is designed to encourage open and in-depth scientific discussion in a relaxed and highly interactive environment.​

   The Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand (CASANZ) is organizing its 2026 conference, accessible at https://tsevents-2026-casanz-conference.eventsair.site, bringing together experts in air quality and odour control from around the world. This event promises in-depth discussions on odour dispersion modeling, source characterization, innovative mitigation technologies, and regulatory updates, much like the focused sessions at past OLORES conferences that advanced practical solutions for industry and communities.

   Last year, the 27th CASANZ International Clean Air and Environment Conference, held alongside the 10th Odours and Air Emissions Conference, concluded successfully. Organised by the Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand (CASANZ) in collaboration with the International Water Association (IWA), the event featured over 110 presentations covering a wide range of topics in air quality and odour management through parallel sessions. Once again, CASANZ is back in action with another new conference but the same format than in Hobart.

  The Ministry of the Environment of Chile celebrated Odour/Odor Day (2 December) with a special seminar held both onsite and broadcast online via YouTube. The seminar was organised by the Department of Noise, Light and Odours of the Ministry of the Environment (MMA) within the framework of the Strategy for Odour Management in Chile. Its aim was to provide an informative space for dialogue about the progress and challenges in environmental odour management in the country.

  A few years ago, the AMIGO Society approved the establishment of the 2nd of December as “Odour/Odor Day”. The idea was to encourage any organisation to plan activities and initiatives to celebrate this day. In 2025, several regulatory agencies met in Chile to discuss odour regulation. Representatives from various agencies related to the environment, health, and wastewater management shared different approaches adopted in the country to address odour impacts.
