The 78th AIPH Annual Congress will be held from September 13 to 17, 2026, in the beautiful city of Bari, Puglia. The event is organized with the support of ANVE, the Italian member of AIPH.
Located in southeastern Italy, Puglia is one of the country’s most productive and distinctive horticultural regions. The long growing season, fertile soils, and abundant sunlight create ideal conditions for ornamental plant production, with nurseries offering a wide range of species for both domestic and international markets.
Hosting the congress in Puglia places delegates at the heart of a region where the power of plants is tangible: in its landscapes, its industry, and its communities. It provides an ideal setting to explore how horticulture continues to drive innovation, sustainability, and economic value on both a local and global scale.
