The FPCP conference is hosted by groups that are expressing an interest in doing so. There is an open call for proposals about 2½ years before the conference will take place and the location is announced at the conference two years prior. So as an example at the 2024 conference in Bangkok, it was announced that the 2026 conference will be in Bad Honnef. The conference is usually rotated between the regions of the Americas, Europe/Africa and Asia/Oceania on three year rotation schedule. FPCP 2026 will be hosted in Europe, and it is expected that FPCP 2027 will be hosted in Asia/Oceania.
Call to host FPCP 2027
We are contacting you to invite expressions of interest from members of your collaboration or community to host the Flavor Physics and CP Violation (FPCP) conference in 2027. We ask that you forward this message to potential hosts of the conference, as broadly as you deem reasonable.
FPCP 2027 will be a forum in which to present new flavor-physics results in the hadron and lepton sectors, discuss theoretical developments, and review the status of near-future and longer-term experiments. The scope of FPCP includes topics such as CP violation, rare decays, flavor universality, top physics, neutrino physics, lepton-flavor and lepton-number violation, exotic hadrons, Higgs couplings, and flavor aspects of direct new-particle searches.
The next FPCP conference will take place at the University of Cincinnati, in Cincinnati, USA, on June 2 – 6, 2025 (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1421485/), and the 2026 conference will be at Bad Honnef, Germany. For the 2027 conference, preference will be given to a site in Asia/Oceania. The preferred time for the conference is around the end of May; other times will receive due consideration, with a preference for the second half of May or the first half of June.
The schedule for site selection is as follows:
• March XX, 2025: Deadline for submission of expressions of interest (EOI). To submit an EOI, please email XXX, with a short message stating your intention to submit a proposal. While later EOIs will be accepted, experience shows that it takes about month to prepare a full proposal.
• April XX, 2025: Deadline for full proposal submission. Instructions on putting together a full proposal will be provided after submission of an EOI.
• June 2 – 6, 2025: Site selection decision announced during FPCP 2025.
The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) selected to host FPCP 2027 will be responsible for all aspects of the conference, including the physics program, logistics, funding, and social program. The International Advisory Committee (IAC) will serve as a resource through close communication and meetings with the LOC, to ensure continuity of the conference series and a successful conference. Those submitting proposals are strongly encouraged to attend FPCP 2025.
