| 10th ICB | 2010 | London | UK | Combined with the 2010 UK BiCon |
During the 9th ICB the 11th ICB was announced to be in the United Kingdom in 2010, however the 10th ICB had no immediate takers.
Although work was done on the issue, a planned conference in 2008 in Rhode Island, USA failed to get off the ground. The 2010 ICB in the United Kingdom will consequently be the 10th.
