The International Carnivorous Plant Society conferences occur in even numbered years on a world-spanning schedule. The rotation is North or South America (2018, 2024) / Asia, Australia, or New Zealand (2014, 2020) / Europe, Middle East, or Africa (2016, 2022). The conferences are organized by local members and their local societies. The board of directors of the ICPS puts out a call for proposals two years in advance of a conference.

To aid organizers the ICPS maintains a Conference Manual to assist conference organizers.
