A principal way that cold fusion investigators have dealt with the field’s pariah status is to share their research results at conferences dedicated to the subject. The first International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF) was held at Salt Lake City in March 1990, just a year after the 1989 announcement. The ICCFs have been held every one to two years since then. The 26th ICCF took place in Morioko, Japan in May 2025. ICCF-27 is scheduled to take place in Niagara, Canada in September 2026.
The ISCMNS also holds conferences approximately every two years. They are referred to as International Workshops of Anomalies in Hydrogen Loaded Metal (IWAHLMs). The 16th workshop took place in Strasbourg, France in September 2023. Cold fusion sessions have also been held as part of conferences by the American Physical Society (APS) and American Chemical Society (ACS). Videos of ICCF, APS and ACS conferences have been included in the CFV project going back to ICCF-2, which was held in 1991, just two years after the 1989 announcement. Unfortunately, no evidence that ICCF-1 was video recorded has been found.
The conferences are recorded on more than one video, so a link is provided to another page where the videos are presented together.

Mike McKubre, retired from SRI International, has been one of the foremost cold fusion researchers from the start of the field. He has also been instrumental in arranging for the ICCFs, including their location, year after year. At the time of ICCF-19 in 2015 in Padua, Italy, he made available a personal history of ICCF 1 to 18 with many details and photos of each of the 18 conferences.
