The city triumphed over strong international competition, with the conference set to take place at ACC Liverpool, highlighting Liverpool’s historic contributions to particle physics. The University of Liverpool and its partners played a key role in securing IPAC’29, bringing the conference to a region renowned as the birthplace of particle accelerator technology. Liverpool’s association with this field began in 1935 when Nobel laureate James Chadwick joined the University, leading to the construction of the pioneering Synchrocyclotron in 1951.

Collaboration and Innovation Drive Success

The successful bid was a collaborative effort involving the University of Liverpool, Club Liverpool, ACC Liverpool, and the Liverpool Convention Bureau. This achievement underscores the city region’s capabilities in hosting major scientific events and its commitment to fostering innovation and knowledge exchange on a global scale.
