The 23rd IPPA Conference will take place in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from 2–7 November 2026.
Hosted at the Gadjah Mada University Club Hotel, our congress will be an entirely in-person event, with no hybrid or online sessions offered. We look forward to welcoming you for a week of engaging presentations, lively discussions, and meaningful connections across the IPPA community.
Your participation will help make this gathering a truly memorable and collaborative event - we hope to see you in Yogyakarta!
Session proposals
Session proposals
IPPA23 (2026) is now closed for session proposals. We would like to thank all those that have submitted session proposals for the conference.
This time around we have received an unprecedented number of session proposals, and too many to include all in the conference.
Over the next month a small committee will work through the proposals and decide three outcomes:
Firstly, what sessions we will keep as is.
Secondly, we will contact some session convenors where sessions are similar and ask whether they would be willing to combine the sessions. If convenors are happy to combine sessions, then we will ask for an updated abstract and include these. If they cannot be combined then the committee will decide which session to retain (if any).
Thirdly, and sadly there will be sessions that we will have to reject on this occasion.
We will be in touch with all session convenors over the next month.

Dear colleagues,
It is a great honour for Indonesia to host the 23rd Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association (IPPA) Conference in 2026!
Back in 1990, Indonesia successfully hosted the 14th IPPA Congress in Yogyakarta, for the first time, and under the leadership of the late Prof. R.P. Soejono. As the new IPPA President, I am very excited and deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead this remarkable conference which will attract IPPA members from all over the world to share their ideas and experiences. This conference will be co-hosted by Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta Special Region Culture Service-Kundha Kabudayan DIY, the National Research and Innovation Agency-BRIN and will once again be held in Yogyakarta.
For the next two years, our local team will work together with international committees to prepare and ensure another remarkable conference. I sincerely hope that the next IPPA conference will successfully communicate a wide range of topics and current issues in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. As I step into this role, I am guided by a deep respect for the legacy of IPPA and a strong commitment to its mission.
I look forward to working with all of you to make the 23rd IPPA conference a great success.
Warm regards,
