The 7th International Palaeontological Congress (IPC7)

30 November – 3 December 2026

Cape Town, South Africa

Convention Venue

Baxter Theatre Complex and the University of Cape Town

The IPC7 meeting will be held at the Baxter Theatre Complex and the University of Cape Town. These venues are set in the heart of the leafy suburb of Rondebosch in Cape Town at the foothills of the Devil’s Peak of Table Mountain. The Baxter is a superb venue with cutting edge technologies and capacity to host our large plenaries, and there are also several intimate smaller venues that can be used for breakaways or parallel sessions. In addition, we will use several of the well designed and equipped lecture venues in the recently completed, green, high efficiency Neville Alexander Building (named after the anti-apartheid activist and UCT academic). This building is literally a 3 min walk from the Baxter Complex.
