ICOMOS General Assembly and Scientific Symposium

We recognize the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the Land where the ICOMOS General Assembly and Scientific Symposium will occur. We extend this acknowledgment to all Indigenous people attending. Sydney offers remarkable natural and cultural beauty, along with world-class facilities such as the new International Convention Centre. The General Assembly will take place within a ten-day program that includes site visits, workshops, lectures, meetings, and social .. continue reading gatherings. Various venues, including the Sydney Opera House, Cockatoo Island / Wareamah, Hyde Park Barracks, and Greater Blue Mountains, will be visited, showcasing Aboriginal and colonial cultural places. The event will bring together Sydney's lively Indigenous and multicultural communities. The theme of the Scientific Symposium, 'Heritage Changes: Resilience – Responsibility – Rights – Relationships,' reflects the dynamic changes happening in the world and emphasizes the importance of heritage in promoting recovery and inclusivity.
