This conference is the world's most prestigious and large-scale international conference on lightning protection, and will be held in Japan for the first time in 20 years, since it was held in Kanazawa in 2006.
Sapporo, which will host ICLP 2026, has a population of more than 1.9 million and is the fourth most populous city in Japan and the political, economic, and cultural center of Hokkaido.
