From 15–18 June 2026, ENCY partners, customers, and technology allies will meet again on the Mediterranean coast of Cyprus for ENCY World Conference 2026 at St Raphael Resort & Marina in Limassol. This year’s theme, “Formula CAD/CAM,” is about one thing: how to combine software, machines, robots, and people into a setup that runs at race speed and keeps you ahead of slower competitors. Engineers, programmers, machinists, and robot integrators will work side by side, comparing real projects, toolpaths, and business models instead of slides full of theory. ENCY 3.0: where the roadmap goes nextA key topic of the conference will be ENCY 3.0 — the next major evolution in the ENCY product line. ENCY Software plans to share its vision and roadmap for ENCY 3.0, including how it reshapes programming flows for CNC machines and robots and how it connects with the existing ENCY X ecosystem.
