Gala Dinner 2024 hosted by IAASF

We invite you to join us at this year's Gala Dinner hosted by the International Arts and Antiquities Security Forum (IAASF). The Gala Dinner welcomes both delegates and non-delegates of the IAASF Conference 2024 who wish to show their support and recognise those who have played a part in protecting cultural, art, and heritage venues around the world.

Guests will be welcomed with drinks upon arrival followed by a three-course dinner offering a set menu (guests with dietary requirements must notify the IAASF Coordinator Louise - [email protected]). The evening will include entertainment and a ceremony for the Cultural Protection Awards 2024 (CPAs).

The CPAs recognise individuals, organisations, and initiatives that have demonstrated cultural protection activities worthy of recognition. There are four categories of awards available including Cultural Protection Initiative, Cultural Protection Ambassador, Youth Cultural Protection Leader (Under 30), and Cultural Protection Training Initiative. All finalists will be given access to the conference as well as a framed certificate and personalised trophy during the ceremony.

This is a great opportunity to network with fellow cultural and security professionals and to enjoy the delicious dining offered at Redworth Hall Hotel in their Jacobean-era Great Hall.
