Cultural resource management professionals, including practitioners from CRM firms, federal, state, tribal, and local entities, attend the conference.
A guided San Diego Trolley Tour and Old Town Market Experience was included, offering exploration of the city's layered history and cultural landscapes.
It is most useful for cultural resource management practitioners from CRM firms and from federal, state, tribal and local agencies, since the 2026 theme of shared responsibility spoke to the firm and agency relationships those groups work in. Professionals outside heritage compliance, such as general archaeology students or developers, would get less, although the trolley tour of San Diego added a field element to a program held at the Horton Grand Hotel.
Attendees at cultural resource management conferences usually wear business casual, and comfortable walking shoes suit the open-air trolley tour and Old Town visit.
