The third annual conference of the Imaging Mass Spectrometry Society (IMSS3) was held October 3–6, 2021 in a hybrid format that included virtual and in-person attendance (Colorado Springs, CO). In this work, we highlight many of the methods and applications presented, the state of the field, and some insights into the emerging areas in the field of imaging mass spectrometry. We also reflect upon the processes behind planning a hybrid conference and discuss the successes and challenges of the event in retrospect.
