International Congress Calendar (PDF/printed)

The International Congress Calendar is the most comprehensive source of information on future international meetings organized or sponsored by international organizations. Over 15,000 are now included every year. All information is provided, or confirmed, by the organizations themselves.

 

Four volumes are published annually; available in January, April, July and October.

Each is an independent working tool, containing its own index and details on every event listed. Amendments and additions occurring between volumes are specially indicated so that information updated since the previous volume is easy to find.

Every volume of the Calendar is divided into three sections:

Geographical Events are listed in this section by the country and city in which they will take place. Details are also given: date(s) and theme of the event, name and address of the organising body, local contact address, estimated number of participants and countries which will be represented, concurrent exhibitions.

Chronological Events are listed in this section by date, from the present into the next century. Here also the name of the organizing body is given, along with the theme, number of participants, and location of the meeting, thus enabling easy reference to the geographical section.

Title and subject index In a single index are listed keywords of all the organization names, principal themes, and secondary or alternate themes. Keywords are followed by the complete name or theme, and also by the location and dates of the event, thus enabling easy reference to the geographical and chronological sections.

The Calendar cross-references the Yearbook of International Organizations by using the same identification numbers for international organizations. This allows users to locate the description of an organization's aims, activities, membership, and history, including locations and dates of past meetings.
