Global Building Conservation Conference

25 September 2025 | 14:30 - 00:15 HKST | Online

We are delighted to announce the return of the RICS Global Building Conservation Conference, an invaluable event for all professionals operating within the built conservation landscape. In 2025, the conference asks:

How can we best preserve the technical skills needed by heritage professionals?

In light of global skills shortages, we must ensure that the technical skills needed to sustain our most treasured sites are kept alive.

Attendees will discover sessions on:

• Global case studies on heritage protection
• Addressing the skills shortage in the heritage specialty
• AI & Data Tech: Transforming heritage preservation planning
• Funding realities for UK heritage estates
• The conservation challenges of unique materials: Bamboo & Adobe

Come and be inspired by the stories that have led these technical professionals to their impactful careers. Attendees will leave with enhanced knowledge of case studies, as well as best practice examples for the cutting-edge educational and professional programs that are ensuring the transfer of skills from one generation to another.
