PSSA Conferences

Since the first PSSA Conference in 1979, our conferences have grown into a cherished biennial tradition that brings together the palaeontological community from across southern Africa and beyond.

Every two years, students, researchers, professionals, retirees, and enthusiasts gather to share the latest discoveries, exchange ideas, explore remarkable fossil localities, and build lasting collaborations.

From engaging scientific presentations and poster sessions to field excursions and social events, our conferences celebrate both the science and the community that make the PSSA unique.
