Our organizing committee is at full throttle organizing the upcoming IPC7 meeting. We have had a tremendous amount of interest from palaeontologists from around the globe to come to this meeting in Cape Town in 2026, and already we have had many outstanding symposium proposals on a wide range of exciting topics. We are currently looking for sponsors/donors to partner with us in making this landmark conference on the African continent an even greater success. We will ensure that all sponsorship and donations will get branding exposure both before and during the meeting.
