Coventry | AABC Anniversary Conference and AGM

Conference 10 am-4 pm, 17 Oct 2019
East Midlands, West Midlands

The day will be a celebration of the AABC, the individuals on the register and all they have contributed to the protection of the historic built environment

As well as a series of lectures and tours, the day will be a celebration of the AABC, the individuals on the register and all they have contributed to the protection of the historic built environment.

The venue for the day will be Coventry Cathedral, which sits alongside the Parish Church Cathedral of St Michael, which was devastated by bombing in 1940. The old Cathedral was left as a ruin following the bombing to be a lasting reminder of the devastation of war. A new Cathedral was designed by Sir Basil Spence and completed in 1962. 

The 2019 conference will focus on post-war architecture and current conservation techniques. During the morning, a series of lectures will be delivered in the nave of the Cathedral. The afternoon will be spent on professional led tours. There will be demonstrations of conservation techniques and ways of working/documenting information. A final list of speakers and tour leaders will be announced shortly. 

A celebratory glass of fizz and 20th anniversary cake will mark the end of the conference. 

AABC are offering a reduced fee of £20 to all attendees – book early to avoid disappointment!
