58th International Symposium on Forestry Mechanization (FORMEC) will take place in Prague, Czech Republic from September 14-18, 2026.
For years, FORMEC has brought together thought leaders from the forestry mechanisation and engineering community to exchange cutting-edge research, practical experience, and forward-looking ideas. Next year, the conference arrives in Prague, where we will, in line with the motto of “Enabling resilient forest value chains through innovation,” explore how new technologies, smart operations, and adaptive strategies strengthen the resilience and sustainability of forest-based industries worldwide.
