We are delighted to be able to announce that this year’s AHFAP conference will take place on the 2nd and 3rd of November at the iconic Barbican in East London.

We’ve also managed to secure their beautiful conservatory for our tea and lunch breaks, and we can’t wait to see you all there.

The keynote this year will be given by Catherine Croft, director of The Twentieth Century Society and editor of the C20 magazine. Prior to joining The Twentieth Century Society, she worked for English Heritage as a buildings inspector. She is also the author of a book on Concrete Architecture and regularly writes about contemporary as well as historic buildings.

Brian Tremain was one of the founding members of the Association of Historical and Fine Art Photographers. His Family have generously sponsored an annual bursary in remembrance of him which is open to any personal, institutional or student member. The aim is to help fund a member to attend the association’s annual conference. This includes travel, accommodation, and a conference ticket. It also includes a free 1-year membership of AHFAP.
