♥️ THANK YOU ♥️ We are overwhelmed by the positive comments and are incredibly happy that everyone enjoyed their time in Stockholm! #ICP2026 was only possible with the hard work of the organizing committee and a marvellous team of ECR volunteers 🟠 at @cpgsthlm.bsky.social

#ICP2026 Stockholm is over, but ICP will return... in 2028! #ICP2028 will be hosted by Trinity College Dublin 🎉☘️🇮🇪

What a fantastic conference dinner we had yesterday at the Golden Hall 🪙 of Stockholms City Hall! 🏫 Even the full-delegate (>380) conference group picture we thought we couldn't pull out, happened organically 📸🎉

Wearing the traditional dress (Skedevidräkten), made by hand by my mother in law's mother and grandmother. Tonight at the spectacular dinner in Stockholm City Hall, in connection with the #ICP2026 ✨

Wake up you sleepy heads, rub your eyes and get out of bed! 😴 Our final plenary talk is by the great Beth Shapiro, on the use of ancient DNA to reconstruct the bison's evolutionary history. #ICP2026 🦬🧬🦴🧪

On this last day of the conference, we have a Plenary talk by Beth Shapiro and sessions on Sedimentary ancient DNA and Domestication #ICP2026 See you there!

Reposting in case any #ICP2026 attendee would like to chat!
