The International Bronze Congress is recognized as the leading forum for scholars whose research enhances our knowledge of the art, culture, and technology of bronzes in the Classical world. Since 1970, there have been 20 successful Congresses, most recently in Izmir (2011), Zurich (2013), and Los Angeles (2015). Each congress attracts hundreds of participants from Europe, the United States, and Asia. The presentations have covered a broad range of topics in the fields of archaeology, ancient technology, history of art, and conservation, and have introduced many new discoveries and new ideas. The next International Bronze Congress will be held at the University of Tübingen in 2018.
