Australia ICOMOS has left a lasting impression through its hosting of the 21st ICOMOS General Assembly, held in Sydney from 31 August to 9 September 2023.
Following the cancellation of the event scheduled for 2020, our Australian colleagues delivered an exceptional and finely tuned event following an almost 7-year marathon of preparations.
With the theme “Heritage Changes”, the 21st General Assembly was a resounding success, bringing together 1,300 participants from around the world to celebrate Australia’s – and the world’s – cultural heritage and promote responsible conservation. The diversity of participants (members, delegates, guests, exhibitors, partners and patrons) reflects the global reach of ICOMOS and its commitment to international collaboration: representatives of more than a hundred National Committees and 31 International Scientific Committees were present.
