The International Symposium on Lightning Physics and Lightning Meteorology (ISLP&M), to be launched in Beijing during fall of 2017, provides an excellent opportunity to present and discuss our recent progress on different aspects in lightning studies. We are honored to host this event, and look forward to welcoming our friends and colleagues from all over the world.
While attending the 1st ISLP&M, we hope that you will socialize with friends and new  acquaintances, and establish future collaborations. We extend the warmest welcome to all, and hope that you enjoy the meeting in Beijing.
