Inter-Tidally United Summit 2024

 

Rising sea levels and other environmental changes have shaped our past and will continue to impact our future.

Join us for our virtual Inter-Tidally United Virtual Summit on August 16, 2024.

Tidally United is a biennial summit, designed to be an informational think-tank dedicated to raising awareness and exploring future-ready solutions to protect historical sites and other significant cultural resources from climate-related threats.

Inter-Tidally is designed to help participants stay connected between in-person summits and grow our community. This year’s theme, “Policy, Press, & the Public,” will provide a platform for important climate conversations and information for how participants can take action to record impacts on historic and cultural sites.
