The Complex Systems Society (CSS) organizes every year the Conference on Complex Systems (CCS), the flagship annual meeting of the international complexity science community.

The CSS hereby invites bids to host the 2028 edition of CCS.

The conference is typically held in September–October and is intended to be primarily an in-person event, in order to preserve the value of direct interaction and collective discussion that characterize CCS. Hybrid formats may nevertheless be considered in a limited form, in particular to ensure inclusivity for participants who are unable to travel.

Interested organizing teams are invited to submit a proposal document outlining their bid.
