SDS has always held meetings in conjunction with IGCs (e.g., Washington, Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Firenze) and regularly joint forces with other organisation that have a focus on Devonian research, e.g., ECOS/ICOS (international conodont symposia) or specific IGCPs. In addition, SDS supports further international congresses with an emphasis on the Devonian, where smaller or specialized groups of its membership convene. The following meetings have officially been co-organized by SDS in 2000-2005 or are currently planned.
