The 9th International Conference on Fossil Insects, Arthropods and Amber: First Circular and Invitation

The 9th International Conference on Fossil Insects, Arthropods and Amber: First Circular
Xi’an, China
18th April – 25th April, 2024 

It is a great honor for us to undertake the 9th International Conference on Fossil Insects, Arthropods and Amber (FossilsX3 Conference) originally planned to be held in Xi’an, China in 2022 at the 8th FossilsX3 Conference in Dominican Republic in 2019. As the current COVID-19 pandemic has brought many uncertainties to international travel and activities, after consultation with the International Palaeoentomological Society (IPS), the meeting will be postponed for one year in Xi’an in 2024.

In the past year and a half, we have conducted two inspections on the venue and field routes of the conference. We originally planned to schedule the conference in mid-to-late April, 2022. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, these investigations have not yet been able to determine the final venue and accommodating during the field trip, and we cannot estimate the specific costs for the time being. As promised at the Dominican Republic conference, we will provide economical conference fees and mid-conference field trip fees, as well as reasonable pre-conference filed trip fees. Payments can be made at the meeting.
