The Digital Olfaction Society is revolutionizing the perfume and beauty industry by digitizing scents and enabling personalized, interactive experiences. This innovation bridges tradition and technology, creating a future where beauty is more immersive, sustainable, and tailored than ever before.

Revolutionizing the World of Smell
The Congress features a diverse range of topics, exploring how digital olfaction is reshaping industries and improving lives:
• AI and Advanced Sensors: Breakthroughs in AI-enabled materials and bionic olfaction systems are bringing precision and scalability to scent detection
• Healthcare Innovations: Electronic noses (e-noses) are poised to revolutionize disease diagnostics and food safety, addressing critical challenges in these sectors
• Robotics and Scent: Gas source localization using drones and mobile robots showcasing the future of environmental and industrial odor monitoring
• Creative Frontiers: From capturing everyday scents to scent design in the metaverse, the Congress aims to bridge the gap between technology and human emotions

The huge impacts
Dr. Marvin Edeas, founder and chairman of the Digital Olfaction Society Scientific Board, shared his vision for the future of digital olfaction, stating: “We are at the era of a revolution in digital olfaction. We are almost at the threshold of a transformation that will redefine and reshape our lives. Our health, culture, art, and communication will never be the same. We could never have imagined the huge impact that digital smell will have on our daily lives.”

Global Collaboration and Future Goals
The Congress also aims to advance the ambitious DOS Tokyo-Worldwide Challenge, an initiative to digitize and reproduce the scents of cities worldwide. This project aims to capture the essence of cultural diversity through smell and is slated for unveiling in 2025.

A Platform for Innovation
With over 20 distinguished speakers and attendees from top institutions, the event fosters networking and collaboration across disciplines. Keynote sessions and panel discussions will address major challenges, including digitization, scent transmission, and real-world applications.
The 8th DOS World Congress aims affirm Tokyo’s position as a hub for innovation in digital olfaction, inspiring future advancements that will revolutionize industries and enhance human experiences globally.
