IAPCT conference 2026

Save the Date: 36th IAPCT Conference – York, UK | October 7-10, 2026

We’re excited to announce that the 36th IAPCT Conference and Annual Meeting will take place near the historic city of York, UK, from October 7–10, 2026.

Thanks to a generous contribution by Dag Forssell, we are able to organize a shared venue where participants can both stay and attend the conference together — creating a truly immersive PCT experience. Come for the sessions, stay for the conversations that continue over dinner.
As always, the conference will be hybrid, with online access available for our global community. That said, we especially encourage you to join us in person — the interactive sessions, workshops, and informal exchanges are where the real magic happens. We welcome talks, workshops, and symposia on all things PCT. Start thinking about what you’d like to contribute!

Key dates (provisional):

  • • Submission deadline: May 31, 2026
  • • Notification of acceptance: June 2026
  • • Conference: October 7–10, 2026

We’re also looking for help shaping this conference. If you’re interested in designing the conference artwork, joining the scientific committee (helping select and organize the program), or contributing to the interactive and social program — we’d love to hear from you.
We’ll update the website as soon as the venue is confirmed. Stay tuned for more details on registration and submissions.
