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.
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,
Anggraeni, Ph.D.
