World Demolition Summit returns to Europe in 2026
13 November 2025
The 18th annual World Demolition Summit (WDS) will take place in Madrid, Spain, in 2026.
World Demolition Summit 2025.
The Summit will return after a succesful expansion this year, which saw the first ever VIP Day and expanded programme.
It also attracted a record number of attendees, with over 500 delegates attending over the course of three days.
Organised by Demolition & Recycling International in partnership with the National Demolition Association (NDA) and the European Demolition Association (EDA), and with the support of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) and Recycled Materials Association (ReMA), the event will bring together industry leaders, experts, and professionals from around the world.
The 2026 agenda will include technical presentations, project case studies, and panel discussions.
The expanded format ensures even more opportunities to exchange ideas, address key challenges, and highlight the innovations shaping the future of the industry.
Central to the summit is the renowned World Demolition Awards, which will once again recognise excellence and achievement across the demolition sector.
The awards ceremony, held during the event, will celebrate the best projects, companies, and teams that have pushed the boundaries of what is possible.
