IAASF 2024 -Developing Resilience for the Protection of Cultural Venues

Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th October

Redworth Hall Hotel, Surtees Road, Newton Aycliffe DL5 6NL

The International Arts and Antiquities Security Forum (IAASF) is dedicated to supporting and educating a global audience on protecting arts, antiquities and cultural heritage. The ultimate aim of the IAASF is to provide those involved in protecting and safeguarding cultural and heritage venues with the skills and knowledge that will enable them to play a proactive role in protecting the artefacts, operations, and people.

For this year’s event, the IAASF want to explore the development of resilience in the cultural sector and how it impacts infrastructure, transportation, training, operational protection, protesters and other activities. The more resilience is addressed in the cultural heritage sectors the more robust a protective approach will be to ensure cultural assets are around for future generations. Therefore, by developing resilience after experiencing these societal factors, cultural venues can be protected for future generations through shared learning, networking and discovering the latest innovations in security.

Following the conference, delegates will have a better understanding of:

• The importance of resilience
• Existing and emerging threats to the arts, cultural, and heritage sectors
• Security design concepts – ‘Layered Security Approach – Security In Depth’
• Risk management resilience
• Effective operational practices in a cultural setting
• The benefits of protective training and education
• Logistical and transportation risk management considerations
• Physical and technical security products available to the sector
• The part that delegates can play in protecting their organisation’s assets
