The most important investment for cultural property protection professionals is IFCPP membership.
The IFCPP serves cultural property institutions and professionals with a trusted network for information sharing, training, certification, advocacy, resource-sharing, and professional connections. No other organization offers as much in-depth experience in addressing the evolving priorities and challenges of this unique and ever-changing field.

IFCPP Provides the Certification Standard for Cultural Property Protection Professionals.
We offer the only professional certification for individuals responsible for cultural property protection. Our multi-tiered program provides training and certification for frontline security officers as well as their supervisors and managers.

The IFCPP is now using a Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver cutting-edge online training.
We can offer a variety of courses and continuing education opportunities via this robust new e-Learning Platform. By doing this we are making IFCPP's cultural property protection training more accessible and flexible, to fit many learning styles and different cultural properties' needs.

The IFCPP conference team is pleased to announce the date and location of our 24th Annual Conference! The 2023 event will take place in St. Petersburg, FL from May 6 -10. We hope you can join us there!

For those delegates that aren’t able to make it to Florida, or other conditions prevent us from meeting in person, we’ll be hosting a high-caliber interactive, virtual symposium after the in-person conference.
