Join World Heritage USA and ICOMOS-USA on October 2, 2026, at The Liberty Hotel in Boston for an inspiring evening celebrating the power of cultural and natural heritage to connect communities, strengthen identities, and shape a more sustainable future.
This year’s theme, Shared Heritage, Shared Future, reflects the idea that the places we value most are not only reminders of our past—they are investments in future generations. The celebration will bring together preservation professionals, advocates, community leaders, educators, philanthropists, and heritage enthusiasts from across the United States and around the world to recognize achievements in heritage conservation and explore the vital role of World Heritage in today’s society.

The evening will feature a keynote address by HRH Princess Dana Firas, globally recognized advocate for cultural heritage preservation and President of the Petra National Trust. Through her leadership in Jordan and internationally, HRH Princess Dana has championed the protection of cultural heritage as a driver of sustainable development, education, and cross-cultural understanding.
Guests will enjoy an evening of networking, inspiration, and celebration while supporting the mission of World Heritage USA and ICOMOS-USA to advance heritage conservation, education, and advocacy.
Whether you are a longtime supporter or new to the World Heritage community, we invite you to join us in Boston as we celebrate our shared responsibility to preserve the places that tell humanity’s story.
Together, we honor our shared heritage and invest in our shared future.
