After the excellent ASCE Annual General Meeting, which took place from 16-18 September 2021 in Budapest, Hungary, another great event is approaching. The ASCE Conference 2021, which this year exceptionally takes place separately from the meeting, is being organized by the Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust for the Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe, and will take place in an online form via ZOOM. When?
On Thursday 11 and Friday 12 November 2021.
- 9am-2pm UK time
- 10:00 - 15:00 UTC +1 (most of Europe)
- 11:00-16:00 UTC+2 (Athens, Bucharest)
Cemetourism: Cemeteries with Stories to Tell
This year's Conference will be especially interesting, taking a practical rather than historical approach to significant cemeteries. The main theme is Cemetourism, and many acknowledged cemetery experts will be speaking about:
- Understanding the cultural significance of cemeteries.
- Developing the unique story of your cemetery.
- Wayfinding: helping visitors navigate to the parts that matter.
- Cemetery museums: complementing the outdoor experience.
- Cultural programming in cemeteries.
- Working with tourism promotion agencies.
- Reconciling tourism with burial activities.
- And so much more.
The event will also be an extension of the AGM 2021 and will therefore address many topics which were previously discussed at the meeting. A great opportunity for all the ASCE members that were unable to come to Budapest, and for all the others who have an interest in significant cemeteries.
