2010 National Preservation Conference Program

Prepare yourself for a completely new National Preservation Conference experience! To complement our future-focused Austin theme, we’ve planned dynamic new programs that encourage conversation and interaction, and spotlight 21st-century preservation imperatives.

Join hundreds of grassroots volunteers, skilled professionals, and preservation experts exploring preservation today -- in urban and rural settings across the United States. We’ll focus on the conventional and the controversial issues that arise every day, and share the most effective tools and practices for fostering preservation in any community.

Conference features include:

Daily general sessions complemented by in-depth breakouts permitting you to focus on your interests
Abundant interactive education sessions with lively audience participation
Field sessions highlighting Austin, the Texas Hill Country, and San Antonio
More learning units offering continuing education credits from AIA (HSW, SD, and general), APA (ethics, law, and general), and USGBC
A listing of approved sessions will be online once final, and in the final program distributed at the conference
Two days of Exhibit Hall, culminating in the Preservation Action Reception and Auction on Friday afternoon
“Nosh & Network” breaks in the Exhibit Hall
Preservation Bookstore
Mad About Mod Party on Friday night, including the live Preservation Action Auction
