Dear Delegates, Colleagues, and Friends,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 31st International Primatological Society Congress, held here in the historic and vibrant city of Xi’an. From August 16 to 22, 2027, we will gather at the Xi’an Qujiang International Convention and Exhibition Center to celebrate the latest advancements in primatology and to foster collaboration among researchers, conservationists, and enthusiasts from around the world.

Xi’an, a city known for its deep historical roots as the starting point of the Silk Road, offers a unique setting for this important gathering. As we delve into the fascinating world of primates, we are reminded of the importance of preserving the biodiversity of our planet and the vital role that primatology plays in understanding and protecting these extraordinary species.

We have an exciting program planned, with a wide array of presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities designed to inspire new ideas and strengthen the global primatological community. This congress represents an incredible opportunity to exchange knowledge, explore new research frontiers, and connect with like-minded individuals dedicated to advancing the field.

We hope you will enjoy your time in Xi’an, experiencing both its rich cultural heritage and the dynamic energy of this international congress. Together, let us work towards a deeper understanding of primates and a brighter future for wildlife conservation.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we look forward to an engaging and productive congress with all of you.
