Saturday 11 October 2025 at 8.00 am to 5.00 pm (US East Coast time)
The 4th international conference of the International Cultural Property Society, co-hosted by Drexel University Thomas R Kline School of Law, will be held at Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA. It will address a number of current issues arising from environmental change and similar phenomena as they affect human culture in tangible and intangible forms. Speakers will discuss approaches to resolving the impact of events such as forest fires, floods, pollution, mass migration and armed conflict on heritage sites, built heritage, Indigenous cultures and varied cultural practices. We will also examine strategies to resolve and ameliorate these losses, including those developed by states, international organizations and the private sector, as well as possible solutions arising from new technology and financial and economic strategies.
Speakers comprise experts from universities, the insurance industry, Indigenous communities, non-governmental organizations, museums and the practice of law. Among those participating are: Stephen W. Clark, General Counsel, J. Paul Getty Trust, Jorge Sanchez Cordero, Mexican Center for Uniform Law, Darlee Sambo Dorough, UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and C. Brian Rose, University of Pennsylvania.
Registration for this event is required.
Registration Fees: $US100 regular, and $US25 for students and online participants.
