The Turkish Foundry Association TÜDÖKSAD, under the auspices of the World Foundry Organization (WFO), will host the 76th World Foundry Congress from 18–24 October 2026 at the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center.
As one of the most important international gatherings of the foundry industry, the WFC will focus on new technologies, sustainability, digitalization, and advanced materials. Participants can look forward to a diverse program including plenary and technical lectures showcasing the latest research and innovations, poster sessions offering a platform for young researchers, as well as plant visits and technical excursions into Turkey’s dynamic foundry industry.
A special highlight will be the networking events, such as the Foundry Night and the festive Congress Banquet, which will also celebrate two major anniversaries: 100 years of the WFO and 50 years of TÜDÖKSAD. Beyond the technical program, Istanbul – a city bridging Europe and Asia with its rich history and vibrant atmosphere – offers participants an inspiring cultural framework.
