SE FL Inter-Tidally Summit Watch Party

Join us for our local, in-person watch party of the Inter-Tidally United Summit hosted by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN)! We’ll stream the Zoom presentations in FAU Davie West’s DW 103 seminar room, and will have refreshments available!

FPAN hosts a biennial summit called Tidally United, 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 event will be held virtually with in-person watch parties around the state to help connect local communities to the topic and work!

Individuals must register for the virtual conference if they plan to attend our in-person watch party. Registration for the state-wide conference is $25 per person. An attendees’ conference registration will be confirmed before entry into our local watch-party. REGISTER FOR THE STATE-WIDE CONFERENCE HERE.
