ICS Congress 2027 – Main Congress

Registration is now open for the next International Camellia Society Congress 2027, hosted by the American Camellia Society in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the ICS.

The Congress will include visits to outstanding camellia gardens, among them three International Camellia Gardens of Excellence, as well as lectures, papers, and educational programs. Special invited guests include the Nuccio family and Dr. Peter Zale of Longwood Gardens.

During the pre-Congress tour, participants will visit a major nursery producing the Chinese everblooming camellia hybrids for the American market. A ceremonial planting at Massee Lane will symbolize international camellia cooperation.

Registration Fees

Please note that the current registration rates include an early-bird discount negotiated with the host hotels. Unfortunately, these rates are only guaranteed until June 30, 2026. From July 1, 2026, registration fees are expected to increase by approximately 10%.
