Following the Autumn 2023 Council meeting of the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA) at Ironbridge, the AIA are pleased to announce their events programme for 2024. There are some changes to their Conference provision compared with previous years, which the AIA hope will make it much more affordable and accessible to their members.
The revamped programme includes moving the conference and AGM to early October, which will be as Cardiff. This will avoid clashes with regional industrial archaeology events and Heritage Open Days in September, as well as the European Archaeology Association (EAA) and The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH) conferences. Importantly, the shorter, hybrid, AGM and conference will be more affordable for members.
There are also lots of exciting new online and in-person events on offer throughout the year including the AIA’s inaugural CPD workshop on ironwork conservation in January, a CBA Festival of Archaeology event with IGMT at Ironbridge in July, and a brand new offer of summer tours in partnership with Heritage of Industry which will take you behind the scenes at some of the best industrial sites in Newcastle and the North East.
The AIA is the leading UK and European specialist society on industrial archaeology and heritage. For more information about the Association, and details on how to join and secure your member’s discounts for 2024’s events, visit https://industrial-archaeology.org
