The IRG57 meeting of the International Research Group on Wood Protection will be held on May 24-28, 2026 at the Nirvana Resort Beijing in Beijing China.

The very successful IRG40 meeting was held at a different location in Beijing area in 2009.

The location for IRG57 was chosen as providing the following advantages:

• one of the most spectacular areas in China

• excellent meeting facilities of a size appropriate for the IRG meeting

• a wide range of suitable accommodation at various price points within the Nirvana Resort Beijing which are in close proximity to the Convention Center at the Nirvana Resort Beijing and which are more than capable of accommodating all IRG meeting attendees

• proximity to the beautiful and iconic Great Wall of China, perhaps the most recognized symbol of China

• beautiful and lively surroundings with a dry monsoon-influenced humid continental climate.

• opportunities for many pre- and post-conference activities

So count on attending the IRG57 meeting in Beijing, China for what promises to be an excellent and stimulating IRG meeting.
