It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 8th Annual Conference of the Division of Plasma Physics of the Association of Asia Pacific Physics Society (AAPPS-DPP2024) that will be held during November 4-8, 2024 at the Grand Swiss-Bel Hotel in the historic city of Malacca, Malaysia. Over the past few years, ever since its inception in 2017, the conference has made significant gains in its scientific stature with a rapidly growing international participation. It now serves as a major platform for dissemination and exchange of the latest scientific information covering a broad range of topics in plasma physics and technology. Last year’s event which marked a return to the in-person format after three long years of online meetings, was a great success. We would like to repeat that success this year and I therefore sincerely hope that you will participate in large numbers and help us do that. I look forward to meeting you all in Malacca.
