Liquid Crystal Society. The main aim of the conference is to bring together the scientific community to present their works on the developments in the interdisciplinary field of liquid crystals and soft matter. The ILCC provides an opportunity for the academicians, researchers, and engineers to share and discuss their theoretical considerations, new experimental results and innovative applications with people from all over the world. The scope covers the area of physics, mathematical studies, chemistry, biology, material science and applied research.

The first conference was organised by Glenn H. Brown in 1965 at Kent State University. Since that time the International Liquid Crystal Conference is held biennially in different regions arranged by local organisers. Each conference has got around 1000 participants, about 300 talks and over 500 posters. The 29th International Liquid Crystal Conference will be in Rio de Janeiro in 2024.
