Bringing the Business Archives Community Together

The ICA/SBA Conference 2026 will bring together an international community of professionals working with company archives and collections to exchange experiences, share perspectives and build new connections.

The conference welcomes company archivists and caretakers of company collections, as well as researchers, cultural heritage professionals interested in supporting businesses in valuing their heritage, and those from the corporate sector who are curious about the benefits of professionally managed archives and collections.

Hosted through a collaboration between ETWIE (Museum of Industry, Belgium), the National Archives of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Association for Company and History in the Netherlands, the conference will explore the relationship between archive care, active businesses and cultural heritage across borders.
