The ICPS and GFP (Gesellschaft für Fleischfressende Pflanzen) are  excited to announce the GFP will host the next ICPS Conference from 24-26 May 2024 at Orangery of the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria.

The Conference will coincide with the GFP 40th anniversary which we would like to celebrate with all of you. 

The Orangery of the Schönbrunn Palace is a beautiful venue for this event. There will be a plant sale as well as many lectures on all three days. On Friday evening we will offer a joint evening event and of course there will be the usual conference dinner on Saturday. We will also do our best to offer some excursions after the conference.
