It finally begins! We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam for the ICOM IC Glass Annual Meeting.

After months of preparation, we are excited to bring together colleagues, curators, conservators, artists, researchers, and glass enthusiasts from around the world for several days of exchange, discussion, and inspiration.

This year’s programme will take us on a journey from “Furnace to Future” to “Glass and Heritage”, exploring the many facets of glass — from artistic and technological developments to collecting, conservation, restoration, education, and the preservation of our shared glass heritage.

We are especially looking forward to the wonderful range of lectures, discussions, museum visits, and encounters that await us. Most of all, we are excited about the opportunity to meet old friends, make new connections, and share our passion for glass.

A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to the programme and to all our speakers and partners for making this meeting possible.

See you in Amsterdam! We can’t wait to welcome you. 🥂✨
