2010 National Preservation Conference | October 27 - 30 | Austin, TX
Join us in shaping Preservation’s newest frontiers—the Next American City, and the Next American Landscape.
The National Preservation Conference has always been a great opportunity to get inspired, share ideas, and learn from practitioners who are setting new standards for the preservation field. This year in Austin, it will be even better, thanks to the ideas and feedback we’ve received this past year. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has made some significant changes to the conference format and content in Austin in order to provide an invigorating, challenging, and one-of-a-kind educational experience, including:
- Discussion sessions that expand on the two morning presentations;
- Issues sessions that set up point, counterpoint ideas for discussion and debate;
- Solutions sessions that ask participants to bring their issues and problems for on-the-spot critiques from experts;
- How-To sessions that present step-by-step practical advice on important issues;
- Success sessions that highlight successful projects and case studies;
- and Foundational sessions that build capacity for individuals and organizations who may be new to the field or seeking additional knowledge.
Two new general sessions on Thursday and Friday mornings, one focusing on preservation issues for the Next American City, the other for the Next American Landscape; NEW session formats - more interactive and inspiring session formats such as
