After careful consideration, ICOMOS-USA has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2025 Symposium originally scheduled to take place in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania this June 4-6.
This decision was not made lightly. In recent months, a combination of factors including increased financial pressures on individuals and institutions, evolving travel restrictions, and uncertainty surrounding federal and cultural heritage funding, has created significant challenges for large-scale in-person convenings across our sector. Like many organizations, we are responding to a complex and rapidly changing landscape that has made traditional event planning especially difficult.
We remain deeply grateful to our partners, presenters, and community members who have worked so diligently to support this year’s program.
Additional information regarding future opportunities for engagement will be shared in the coming weeks. Thank you for your continued support. ... See MoreSee Less
