The 8th International Exhibition and Conference on the Conservation of Buildings and Sites will take place at Habima on December 2, 2026. The largest event of its kind in Israel, it has become a leading and influential meeting place for professionals involved in the conservation and renewal of Israel’s built heritage.
The event provides a professional platform for raising awareness, expanding knowledge and promoting dialogue in the field of built heritage conservation. Inspired by leading international conservation exhibitions in Ferrara (Italy), Paris (France) and Leipzig (Germany), it brings a wealth of professional knowledge together in one place and attracts a large and diverse professional audience.
The conference and exhibition bring together the full range of professionals and organizations working in the field, including developers, contractors, architects, engineers, conservation specialists, government representatives, companies, professional associations, municipalities, and local and regional councils.
Furthermore, we are proud to host an expert delegation from North Rhine – Westphalia (NRW), Germany. Recognized leaders in adaptive reuse and building renewal, these thought leaders will share real- world experience and case studies.
Approximately 1,200 people are expected to attend the exhibition and conference, including professionals, conservation advocates, decision-makers and practitioners from across the field.
The exhibition is produced by Icon Conferences. The conference program and professional content are developed and led by the International Relations Department of the Council for the Conservation of Heritage Sites in Israel, together with a professional steering committee.
