REGISTRATION NOW OPEN for ICON: Contemporary Practica: Practical talks about contemporary challenges
A one-day cross-specialism conference focussed on the day-to-day challenges of modern materials.
9.30am – 5pm BST31 March 2025, UCL East Marshgate Building, 7 Sidings St, London, E20 2AE
Free-£35

The one-day event will focus on practical approaches to the challenges posed by modern materials. The talks range across specialisms from objects, to paintings and collections care, and include a keynote address by Joanne Hackett of University of Glasgow’s Textile Conservation Centre.
What unites this diverse set of speakers is an emphasis on practice, or bench-based research. All talks feature techniques, lessons, or materials that conservators have learned from, or can apply to, their day-to-day work.
The formal presentations will be supported by a programme of lightning talks on current projects to provide a forum for collaborative problem solving.
Please note: In order to encourage open and frank discussions of potentially sensitive topics, the conference will not be offered in a hybrid manner on the day. Although a selection of recordings may be circulated after the proceedings, delegates wishing to attend the full programme will need to attend in-person at UCL East, in Stratford, East London.
