The 79th IIW Annual Assembly 2026, will take place in the historic and vibrant city of Salzburg, Austria. This Assembly will even more than ever mark another milestone in our shared commitment to advance the science and technology around the key topics in welding and joining worldwide. Similarly, we will take care that also the education, training, qualification and certification in welding and allied processes will take significant future steps to join and strengthen our global community. As we gather in the heart of Europe, surrounded by Salzburg’s rich cultural heritage and embedded in the breathtaking Alpine landscapes, we will foster our power of collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange. Throughout this Annual Assembly, we will engage in meaningful discussions, share groundbreaking research, and reinforce the bonds that unite our global welding community. For the first time, this IIW Annual Assembly will feature a renewed structure which will underpin and enhance the collaboration and connection between industry and research. This IIW Annual Assembly will thus also place larger emphasis on application-oriented topics, respective technical visits and industrial roundtables.
