The location of the 2026 World Potato Congress has changed again, returning to its originally planned location of Kenya. Plans for a Kenyan Congress were cancelled in 2024 when organizers decided more planning time was needed before hosting the event there, and the event was then slated to take place in Poland. However, the Kenya host committee addressed key areas of concern and asked the WPC board of directors to reconsider their bid to host.
The event is expected to attract over 1,000 delegates from around the world and will focus on sustainable agriculture, food security and innovative practices to enhance the potato value chain.
