2025 Conference on Public Archaeology

The 2025 Conference on Public Archaeology is taking place on August 8-9, 2025 in Washington, DC! Abstract submissions are now open and advanced registration will open in March.

This meeting will be hosted by Archaeology in the Community and is intended to provide a dedicated space for public-minded archaeologists and cultural heritage practitioners to share their experiences and expertise. Over two days, we plan to host a series of workshops, panels, round-tables, and special events geared toward addressing some of the most pressing issues in the discipline, including::

• Diversifying professional and avocational representation
• Public archaeology and the Section 106 process
• Community science and heritage site stewardship
• Climate impacts to tangible and intangible heritage resources
• Harnessing digital advances for outreach and education
• Working in schools and engaging with educators
