The CIOB annual Conservation Conference will this month celebrate the creativity, dedication and expertise within the heritage and conservation sector.

With this year’s theme ‘Engage. Involve. Empower’, the focus will be on the people behind these projects.

The event takes place at Congress Centre, London, on 12 March. Key themes for 2025 include:

  • Age and inspiration: exploring young people’s perceptions of heritage and conservation.
  • Innovation and technology: examining how advancing technologies transform learning, decision-making and investment.
  • Stakeholder involvement: showing how heritage staff use creative skills to shape conservation projects.
  • Community engagement: showcasing methods to inspire public participation and
    connections with historic sites.
  • Heritage skills cycle: covering the spectrum of conservation work – from surveying and design to installation and repair – emphasising the interconnectedness between disciplines on projects.
