MARCH 1 DEADLINE FOR SESSION PROPOSALS FOR THE NATIONAL PRESERVATION CONFERENCE

From the National Trust for Historic Preservation:

Do you have a cutting-edge idea or concept?

Are you involved with a first-rate project?

Are you making advances in fields related to preservation?

Can your experiences and knowledge help other preservationists master their challenges?

If so, then we want you to submit a proposal for an education session for the 2012 National Preservation Conference in Spokane, Washington.

We seek challenging session content that addresses critical preservation issues; offers cutting-edge strategies and models; raises provocative questions about preservation practice and values; and identifies new and unexplored preservation trends. Our audience is made up of diverse, experienced and emerging preservation leaders who appreciate lively, interactive sessions with strong take-aways. They come to the National Preservation Conference to hone and refresh existing competencies, learn new skills, and be exposed to new ideas and networks. Sessions that present multiple case studies, meaningful audience participation or exercises, opportunities for role playing, and access to particular kinds of expertise are most welcome.

Who comes to the conference?

Preservationists work in every field imaginable. Our attendees include architects, urban planners, nonprofit executives, government planners, historic site owners and operators, lawyers, developers, builders, skilled tradespeople, retirees, consultants, graduate students, historians, real estate investors…anyone with an interest in preserving our history to enrich our communities.

Education Session Managers and Speakers Receive Complimentary Conference Registration
