Ironbridge conference

Over 160 world heritage practitioners and academics have gathered at ‘Enginuity’ at the Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site over the last 3 days, as the international Ironbridge handbook‘Communicating World Heritage’ conference enters its 4th and final day. We have heard from many speakers and the networking is alive and vibrant. Watch this website for uploaded presentations and more information on what has gone one at this milestone event.

For World Heritage UK, this has been a successful collaboration with the Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage and the Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust, with financial support provided by Historic England and Telford and Wrekin Council. Special thanks go to Hannah, Coralie, Joe, Gosha, Jamie and Gemma for helping to make this such a successful occasion.

Also taking place today was the charity’s Annual General Meeting and the election of Trustees. The current Chair, Sam Rose was re-elected along with existing Trustee Jane Gibson and a new appointment to the Board, David Holroyd, who is currently working at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew UNESCO World Heritage Site.
