IHBC North Branch Chair Roger Higgins said: \u2018IHBC\u2019s North Branch is very pleased to be hosting the 2026 Annual School and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in June.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We have a great range of speakers lined up and some amazing study tours, showcasing the best of northeast regeneration and adaptive reuse. Don\u2019t miss this opportunity to see Newcastle upon Tyne and its fabulous historic buildings.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IHBC Chair David McDonald said: ‘\u2018After a huge amount of preparation and work across our North Branch and National Office, I am delighted that booking for the IHBC\u2019s 2026 School is now open.  And this year we are offering members and colleagues our familiar and unique suite of accessible learning from historic Newcastle upon Tyne and its impressive surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Our Annual Schools hone in on aspects of IHBC Competences that will benefit even the most experienced Conservation Professionals. Adaptive re-use can be one of the most challenging of conservation issues.  This School offers a very accessible way to sharpen your skills whatever your discipline or career stage – and a great value way too, particularly with the Digital School rates.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018That is why this School\u2019s CPD opportunity shouldn\u2019t be missed. Whether you join us online or in person, let\u2019s all look for solutions to current heritage challenges in 2026 in June, online \u2013 and if you can, in-person \u2013 from Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018In that context too, as well as offering my sincere thanks to the North Branch for their hard work, I am also especially pleased to confirm that the Annual Day School will open with a welcome from Dr Anna Keay OBE, Director of the Landmark Trust.  Many thanks indeed Anna!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Anna Keay said: \u2018I am very much looking forward to discussing the Landmark Trust\u2019s experience of the exciting possibilities of reusing old buildings with delegates at the IHBC conference.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IHBC\u2019s Full School in Newcastle (18\u201320 June) will include a rich and varied programme designed to inform, inspire, and support continuing professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
