The AIA organises a number of events each year
AIA Practical Day
Annual Conference
Other events
AIA Practical Day
Usually in Spring, is the AIA Practical Day (or weekend). Formerly known as the ‘Affiliated Societies’ event or the ‘Ironbridge Weekend’ it is open to everyone. The day is usually devoted to a particular topic or theme and engenders much useful discussion and debate. It is a particularly informal and sociable event, often with related study visits.
Annual Conference
In the 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.
Other events
Normally in May we organise a week-long overseas Field Visit
Normally during the Conference weekend the Association’s AGM takes place and the Annual Rolt Memorial Lecture is delivered.
The Conference is often preceded by a one day seminar and the theme is usually one of a national nature.
See more details of past Conferences and past Practical Days.
Events Diary
To mark the 200th Anniversary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, this year’s EIAG Annual Meeting has been extended to allow for a series of short talks… Bill Burns (from New York) asks was there really a Victorian Internet, (and how did we get from there to here?). The worldwide boom in undersea cables reduced message time… Meet outside Reading Station (winter.zeal.toned) at 10:30 on 25th October to walk down to County Lock (106) on the Kennet & Avon Canal, we will then walk towards Kennet Mouth…
