Symposium: The Benefits of World Heritage Listing in the United States
November 9, 2019 |
Join US/ICOMOS to learn about the economic and social benefits that World Heritage sites in the United States bring to their communities.
The economic and social benefits of World Heritage listing are not well understood in the United States. This conference will provide perspective on the impact of World Heritage designation as well as provide an opportunity to discuss lessons learned by a range U.S. World Heritage sites.
Hear from local, national and international heritage experts from World Heritage sites such as the recently inscribed Frank Lloyd Wright sites, and sites that have been listed for many years, such as Chaco Canyon National Historical Park.
The symposium will also examine the potential for social and economic benefit to sites on the United States Tentative List, looking at ways to begin planning now for future benefit to local communities.
The 2019 Symposium will feature two exciting sessions that need to be registered for separately.
Please register here for the daylong SYMPOSIUM on SATURDAY 9 NOVEMBER, 8:30 am – 4 pm EST: “Learning from Current U.S. World Heritage Sites and Planning for the Future.” Administrators, experts and local leaders will share the benefits and challenges of World Heritage inscription in the United States; compare and discuss strategies for how to maximize the benefits of inscription; and share planning for future inscription and benefit. This daylong symposium will take place at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (1740 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC).
