The 17th-century Jacobean Hall provides a beautiful and appropriate setting for a conference relating to the protection of cultural and heritage venues.Early Bird Tickets are available now!BackgroundConflict, political uncertainty, rising prices, and budget cuts all contribute to global economic uncertainty. When 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 redundancies, a lack of funding for cultural venues, and inadequate maintenance of buildings and infrastructure.As with other sectors, the best way to protect assets from adversarial, social, or natural threats is to understand them and how they impact an organisation's operation and continued functionality. Once the threat is understood, risk reduction strategies can be developed that are sensible, proportionate, and cost-effective. These risk reduction strategies can include enhanced operational effectiveness, increased use of technology, or improved emergency planning.The IAASF continues to bring together experts from around the world who are passionately involved in the protection of cultural heritage and supporting the sectors. The conference is a great opportunity to network with peers and to share global experiences and knowledge.This conference will focus on existing threats and those considered to be most relevant in the future. The conference will enable delegates to understand how these threats can impact their organisation and the steps that everybody can take to reduce the risks that exist.ObjectivesAs the conference ends, delegates will have a better understanding of:1. Existing and emerging threats to the cultural & heritage sectors, which can increase in times of economic uncertainty.2. Emerging technologies and the threats they may pose.3. Protective security risk management approaches.4. Effective operational practices, including emergency planning and protective training.5.
