AIC Annual Meeting

Meet us in Montreal or online!

Each year, we host a conference in a different city and online. It features more than 200 presentations given over three days on a variety of conservation, research, and collection care topics. We also offer several workshop and tour options onsite before and after the conference. Since 2020, attendees have been able to attend online as well.
