Annual Meeting

The ACC Symposium is held every November at a specially selected museum. Among the many benefits of attending this annual meeting, the conference presents participants with (1) the opportunity to hear lectures from ceramic specialists and (2) the chance to meet other individuals with whom they can share and exchange their knowledge and research findings about porcelain and pottery. Attending the Symposium also offers the opportunity for limited numbers of ACC members to participate in pre- and post-symposium trips to private collections and local sites of interest.
The Birmingham Museum of Art will be the venue for the 2011 Symposium. It will be held November 3-6 of this year. Click below for the online schedule. And please also visit the "Event" site on Facebook.
