Preparing for Disasters and Confronting the Unexpected in Conservation May 13 –17, 2016, Palais des Congrès, Montreal, Quebec, Canada Presentations at this meeting will address in a broad-based way the impact of past, present, and future disasters on the protec- tion of cultural property, as well as confronting the unexpected in conservation (whether it occurs during the treatment of an artifact or during a natural disaster). The scope of the theme includes immediate reactions, such as the application of crowd- mapping technology to aid response efforts, as well as longer term developments stemming from disasters, such as the adoption of simple strategies: Fail to Plan – Plan to Fail, effective risk assessment methodologies, the rapid transformation of damaged artifacts into objects of veneration, and the repercussions of instantaneous visibility of destruction.
