Heritage Istanbul is one of the most important international events dedicated to cultural heritage, bringing together professionals working in conservation, restoration, archaeology, museums, libraries and related technologies. It is part of the broader Heritage fair circuit, which links similar events around the world with a shared mission: preserving and celebrating our shared cultural legacy.
The 9th edition of Heritage Istanbul will take place from April 1 to April 4, 2026 at the Yenikapi Eurasia Exhibition and Art Center in Istanbul, Turkey. Set in one of the world’s most historic cities, the event blends rich cultural heritage with forward‑looking innovation. It features a comprehensive exhibition area showcasing advanced materials and technologies for cultural heritage protection, alongside a programme of conferences, workshops and professional meetings where experts from around the world share insights, projects and best practices.
Heritage Istanbul is not just a trade fair — it’s a platform for learning and collaboration, bringing together conservators, archaeologists, museum professionals, technologists and researchers to explore both traditional and cutting‑edge approaches to heritage preservation. From digital documentation tools to new museum and archive solutions, the event highlights key trends shaping the future of the field.
While Istanbul is a cornerstone event in the Heritage circuit, other related fairs — such as Heritage Middle East in Abu Dhabi and Heritage Turquoise in Samarkand — continue the conversation on cultural heritage in different regions of the world, building a global network united by the same goals.
Attending Heritage Istanbul means joining an international community of professionals and institutions dedicated to protecting cultural heritage, fostering innovation and creating opportunities for collaboration in a dynamic and evolving landscape.
