​Early Bird tickets are now available for the 2026 IAASF Conference!

This year's conference will discuss 'Protecting Cultural and Heritage Venues in Times of Economic Uncertainty'.

Conflict, political uncertainty, rising prices, and budget cuts all contribute to global economic uncertainty, highlighted by the ongoing situation in the Middle East. Where there is economic uncertainty, there are often increases in adversarial threats, which can take the form of organised crime, looting, and opportunistic theft from museums and other cultural venues. There are also social impacts that can result in increased staff redundancies, a lack of funding for cultural venues, and inadequate maintenance of buildings and infrastructure.

This conference will focus on existing threats and those considered most relevant for the future. It will enable delegates to understand how the threats can impact their organisation and the steps that everybody can take to reduce the risks that exist.

There are different opportunities to join us at IAASF 2026, from exhibiting your company's latest products and services to joining us as a delegate for one or both days.
