IIW Annual Report 2025

The organisers of the 78 th IIW Annual Assembly in Genoa also arranged to hold a physical exhibition of prints of the exhibits during the week of 22nd to 27th June 2025. All 42 exhibit prints were located at the main entrance to the Centro Congressi Porto Antico di Genova where the IIW Annual Assembly was held. In all, over 2000 people attended the 78 th IIW Annual Assembly and International Conference. Each delegate had an App on which information on the Collection and each exhibit was available. The photograph shows Dr Stephan Egerland, IIW President-Elect (centre), Dr Luca Costa, IIW CEO (right) and Mr Giovanni Garbarino, Italian Institute of Welding Organising Committee (left), at the exhibition location.

We thank the Italian Institute of Welding (IIS) and its organising team for the considerable time and effort which they contributed to the physical welded art photographic exhibition.

We encourage you to watch out for information on the IIW 2026 Digital Collection, Shaping the Future, and the welded art photographic exhibition in Salzburg, Austria, at the 79 th IIW Annual Assembly from 12 to 17 July 2026.
