Next edition / status of IMCET 2027

The official site has been rebuilt with IMCET 2027 (30th International Mining Congress and Exhibition of Turkiye) branding, and the organiser's LinkedIn account also refers to the 30th congress - so the brand and organiser are clearly active. However, no 2027 dates or venue are published yet: the Announcements page is empty and the "Congress Date and Venue" page on the 2027 site still carries the previous edition's copy ("Congress Date 11-14 November 2025 / Congress Venue Royal Seginus Hotel & Royal Holiday Palace"). The record therefore keeps the last confirmed edition (2025); no future dates have been invented.
