We, the members of the German Orchid Society, were awarded the contract to host the 24th World Orchid Conference 2026 at the 23rd World Orchid Conference (WOC) in Taiwan and are already inviting all interested orchid enthusiasts to join us in Dresden from March 26 to 29, 2026. All details about the WOC can be found on the separate web site.

Registration for participation in the conference is now open. Here is the direct link.

Ever since it was founded in 1906, the Deutsche Orchideen-Gesellschaft e. V. (DOG) to promote orchid science and make it accessible to all interested parties. The members show how different the interest in orchids can be: the D.O.G. has almost 2,500 members worldwide – from the simple flower lover to the botanist, breeder and gardener. They all use the offers of the DOG and are committed to the club’s goals. Everyone contributes their part: Be it as a collector of orchid motifs on stamps or coins, as a cultivator on the windowsill, in the showcase or in your own greenhouse, or as a filmmaker or author of books on orchids.
