About the fair

A unique meeting platform for the sector.

Organised under the slogan “Securing the Future for the Past”, Heritage Istanbul aims, through its conferences, to discuss key developments in the sector and host inspiring talks by professionals and academics; through its fair, to showcase global trends and technologies in cultural heritage with expert organisations from Turkey and Europe in archaeology, restoration, museology and librarianship; and through its workshops, to raise visitor awareness.
