Palynology events & congresses
The meetings where the field gathers — from the AASP-TPS annual meeting to the International Palynological Congress. Dates change by society vote, so we link the official calendars too.
Recurring international meetings
AASP – The Palynological Society: Annual Meeting
The flagship yearly gathering of the largest palynological society. Talks, posters, short courses and early-career events across all branches of the science.
palynology.org →International Palynological Congress (IPC)
The discipline's largest global congress, run under the International Federation of Palynological Societies and usually held jointly with the International Organisation of Palaeobotany (IOP). The XV IPC / XI IOP was held in Prague in May 2024; the next congress is announced through the IFPS.

TMS runs an annual conference plus dedicated Palynology Group meetings alongside foraminifera and nannofossil groups.

Because congress dates and venues are set by member-society votes, the most current calendar is always the IFPS "Future Events" calendar and the AASP-TPS website. Regional societies (see our directory) also list their own workshops and field meetings.
