11 – 15 July, 2026 – Vancouver, Canada
The 10th World Congress of Biomechanics is coming to vibrant Vancouver from July 11-15, 2026—and we can’t wait to welcome you. We are thrilled to bring you an unforgettable event that celebrates all that’s new, bold, and boundary-pushing in biomechanics. The 10th World Congress of Biomechanics will feature a rich scientific and social program bringing together our global research community. We are honored to announce that the 10th World Congress will serve as the 2026 meeting of our 3 principal partners: the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB), the Canadian Society of Biomechanics/Société Canadienne de Biomécanique (CSB/SCB), and the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB).
In addition to the high quality and diverse spectrum of scientific tracks you have come to expect from the World Congress, we are striving to amplify contributions of researchers that are embracing emerging areas that we will announce more on as the planning progresses, but will undoubtedly include wearable sensors, artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine, novel devices, and much more. This Congress will be an immersive, hands-on experience in one of the most dynamic cities in the world. Expect workshops that spark creativity, discussions that challenge the status quo, and networking opportunities against the stunning backdrop of Vancouver’s mountains and ocean.
Join us in continuing the tradition of excellence of more than two decades of World Congresses now past, and forging the next directions in your field. This is more than a Congress; it’s a chance to inspire, be inspired, and chart new directions. Vancouver is calling, and you won’t want to miss this incredible opportunity!
WCB 2026 Host Societies
ASB is dedicated to advancing the field of biomechanics through research, education, and collaboration.
