AABC Conference - Maison Dieu, Dover - Community and Civic Pride
Tues, 06 Oct 2026 10:00 - 16:00 BST
AABC Conference 2026 – Community and Civic Pride
We are delighted to announce that the AABC Conference 2026 will take place at the beautifully restored Maison Dieu in Dover, a remarkable historic landmark at the heart of the town.
This year’s theme, Community and Civic Pride, will explore the vital role that conservation professionals play in shaping places that people feel connected to and proud of. Set within one of Dover’s most significant heritage buildings, the conference will bring together experts and practitioners dedicated to the care, repair, and conservation of historic environments.
Through a programme of engaging talks and expert-led discussions, we will consider how our work supports not only the preservation of historic fabric, but also the strengthening of communities and civic identity—ensuring our shared heritage continues to enrich present and future generations.
Join us for a day of inspiration, knowledge-sharing, and networking with peers from across the sector in a unique and historic setting.
The conference is open to both members and non-members of the AABC register.
We look forward to welcoming you to Dover.
