History of IPS Conferences
Organized every 2 years since 1974, the IPS conference series has a long and successful history. The first meeting in Boston attracted 175 delegates, which has grown to 400 – 600 attendees in recent years. An account of IPS’s earlier years is given by Prof. James R. Bolton in a 1995 historical perspective of IPS.
