8, 2024, which will be held both in-person at the State Library, and online. If you can attend in-person, it is an excellent opportunity to meet conservators, and network with other practitioners. You can even bring the object you wish to conserve and receive
advice about conservation plans from the conservators who will be on-site. Light refreshments will be provided in the morning. See below for Registration details.
