<span style="font-size: 14px;">We are pleased to announce <b>Light-Cone 2024: Hadron Physics in the EIC era (LC2024)</b>, to be held at the
<b>Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Huizhou, China</b>, from
</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 127, 229);"><b>November 25th to 29th, 2024</b></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">. The conference will be conducted in person.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 14px;">LC2024 continues the conference series that began in 1991, overseen by the International Light Cone Advisory Committee (ILCAC). For the information on past Light Cone conferences, please refer to the ILCAC website (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ilcacinc.org_past-2Dmeetings&d=DwMGaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=TI1-uR1CNrL-lIqQDSyKdxNA8TlS9bg3dZbKl21HDQU&m=Dm8ItzFXhMjdqM_TAWjdgJyjpLFmfPcvhORy76CT92LF0eehv28zyAigMh1Z1LUK&s=SLZaWYtRqG9GzH-io_r-pWsfX1t7_XCLZtrLgH5uavk&e=" id="OWA87788532-a738-bfea-805c-58ed1e04a488" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable">http://www.ilcacinc.org/past-meetings</a>).</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 14px;">The objective of LC2024 is to design a scientific program that will inspire advancements in the leading edge of research in nuclear, hadron, and particle physics at Electron-Ion Colliders (EICs).</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 14px;">LC2024 will focus on the following physics topics and theoretical/experimental tools. </span><br>
