12 - 14 June 2025 (in person and online)
The IHBC is
continually exploring new ways to support Continuing Professional Development
(CPD) at our themed Annual Schools – they are ‘Schools’ after all –
while as an institute we have a long legacy, and a huge body of themed
resources HERE.
Offering
expert guidance to diversely skilled audiences, IHBC Schools are designed to be
accessible to delegates of all backgrounds and disciplines, in line with the
institute’s promotion of interdisciplinary skills sets in built and historic
environment conservation practice and practitioners.
To help guide
conservation CPD learning and practice at our Schools, you can find out more
about IHBC CPD HERE.
For more detail on how we use specific areas of practice – our Competences -
and shape interdisciplinary conservation skills, just follow the links from HERE.

For Shrewsbury
in 2025, our School offers IHBC CPD Certified learning and networking, in
person and online, across up to 3 days, with the headline theme of ‘Heritage
in Context: Value | Plan | Change’. This allows interested delegates from any
discipline to focus School learning on exploring the complex relationship
between ‘context’ and the historic environment, in terms of how we value,
manage, and preserve its significance in the face of continued change and
intervention.
In terms of IHBC practice and accreditation,
content at Reading will cover the specific areas of practice on our
Conservation Cycle and allied practice models:
IHBC members
and School delegates can prepare better for studies, talks, visits and
networking by using our web guidance and links, especially that on the Home Page,
the Day School contents and speakers, and the tours
on the Thursday and the Saturday. Further resources and guidance will be offered on our
website, both before and after the School itself.
Networking
across practitioners from different disciplines is also a critical aspect of
interdisciplinary conservation practice and learning. The Full School programme
and tours provide an ideal opportunity for delegates to progress their CPD
requirements and develop their professional built and historic environment
competences with like-minded colleagues in a stimulating and practice-focussed
learning environment.
