The ICCF conferences, which began in 1990, have been held with a three continent rotation: North America, Europe and Asia. It is the primary venue for the international community of involved and interested scientists to give and critique papers that describe what was done and found. The papers are then published in the proceedings of the conference.

The field of this conference was called cold fusion at the announcement of its discovery during a press conference by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons on 23 March 1989. The term cold fusion was already in use to describe muon-catalyzed fusion, an understood physical mechanism in which fusion of two deuterons occurs at relatively high rates in the presence of muons. Deuterium is the mass two isotope of hydrogen. In 1989, the term "cold", as used for the new and mysterious effect, was meant to apply to deuteron fusion at ordinary temperatures, and to contrast with known fusion processes at high temperatures in plasmas, which have temperatures far in excess of one million degrees K.
