The IPS Society was officially formed in May 1980. However, The International Pyrotechnics Society can claim that its roots go back to 1968 when the First International Pyrotechnics Seminar was held at Estes Park Colorado, USA. In fact it was the Steering Committee of the Sixth International Pyrotechnics Seminar who officially formed the International Pyrotechnics Society. The Society has continued to sanction International Pyrotechnics Seminars. These have been held ever other year in the United States and other countries in years the Seminar has not been held in the United States, e.g., China, France, Japan, New Zealand, Russia and the United Kingdom. Over the years the membership of the Society has grown to cover 30 countries.
