The International Congress of Entomology has only been hosted on the African continent once, in 2008, when it was successfully hosted by the Entomological Society of Southern Africa (ESSA) in Durban, South Africa. The year 2028 will mark 20 years since that prestigious, important and transformative event. It is time for Africa to once again welcome the world’s entomologists to share their knowledge and point the world towards a better future that all can look forward to.

For this reason the theme of ICE 2028 is: “Entomology for a better future”.
