The symposium is organized by George Town World Heritage Incorporated and will take place in George Town, Penang, Malaysia, from 1 to 5 March 2024.
"We Are Site Managers" International Symposium is designed to be the platform for World Heritage Site Managers to define the roles, responsibilities, and functions of Site Managers. We also hope to discuss the Site Managers’ needs and challenges and debate the opportunities and limitations faced. It is hoped that the symposium will promote international awareness and appreciation of Site Managers as front liners in the implementation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention.
We are now in the process of Calling for Speakers. Individuals who currently/used to serve as UNESCO World Heritage Site Managers are welcome to submit their 500-word abstract on the listed themes by 30 September 2023.
