The International Carnivorous Plant Society conferences occur in even numbered years on a world-spanning schedule. The rotation is North or South America / Asia, Australia, or New Zealand / Europe, Middle East, or Africa. 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.
