From December 6th to 8th, the 2024 Annual Academic Conference of the Seismology Professional Committee of the China Geophysical Society (hereinafter referred to as the Professional Committee), as well as the Second Academic Seminar on "The Future of Seismology," was held in Wuhan, Hubei Province. This conference was hosted by the Seismology Professional Committee of the China Geophysical Society and organized by APM and the National Basic Science Center for "Earthquake Initiation, Propagation, and Mechanism." Participants included Academician XIE Shucheng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academician DU Shigui of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Academician Ni Sidao, vice president of APM, CHENG Huihong, deputy director of the Earth Science Department of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, HU Min, deputy secretary-general of the China Geophysical Society, CUI Wenyue, division chief of the Science and Technology Department of the China Earthquake Administration, and over 120 experts and scholars from domestic universities, research institutes, and other institutions.
