Summary: The International Conference on Estuaries and Coasts (ICEC) is a triennial event initiated by the International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES). Seven such conferences have now been held in Hangzhou and Guangzhou, China; Sendai, Japan; Hanoi, Vietnam; Muscat, Oman, Caen, France and Shanghai, China in 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2021. With support from related international associations, and with the participation of experts and scholars worldwide, the ICEC has attracted wide attention and has become an important and popular event.  The ICEC provides an opportunity for scientists, engineers, researchers and decision-makers to exchange ideas, research results and advanced techniques, and develop collaboration and friendships. The 8th International Conference on Estuaries and Coasts (ICEC 2024) will be held in the Quebec City, Canada during August 27 to 29, 2024. The ICEC 2024 will provide a venue for intellectual and enlightening discussions of ideas. The conference program will be broad with topics. The local, program and advisory committees are working to prepare an exciting and outstanding conference. Academics, government organizations, industrial partners and interested citizens are invited to attend this conference. We look forward to welcoming you for our next conference in the beautiful city of Quebec!   -The ICEC organizing committee
