AIA Practical / CPD Day
Usually in Spring, is the AIA Practical Day Known under different names over the years: ‘Affiliated Societies Day’, ‘Ironbridge Weekend’, ‘Practical Day’ and ‘CPD Day’ the event is open to everyone. The day is usually devoted to a particular topic or theme and engenders much useful discussion and debate. In the past it was an informal and sociable event and included related study visits but is now more likely to be a Zoom event.

Annual Conference
In late summer each year the Annual Conference takes place in a different venue somewhere in the UK. We look at local industrial archaeology and history through lectures and visits. Whilst the main conference is over a weekend, there are also continuing events into the following week for those wishing to spend longer in the area.

Normally during the Conference weekend the Association’s AGM takes place and the Annual Rolt Memorial Lecture is delivered.
The Conference is sometimes preceded by a one day seminar and the theme is usually one of a national nature.
