Exhibit in Austin

Jump-start your marketing, increase sales and reach the targeted market that's right for your company.  This conference is the National Trust for Historic Preservation's premier educational activity.  Many of our exhibitors already know that the National Preservation Conference, now in its 65th year, is the place to gain valuable contacts in the preservation field.

Who attends the National Preservation Conference?  More than 23% are architects, 28% are in planning at various levels of government or other policy oriented positions, 15% are in downtown revitalization and another 44% work at a variety of preservation organizations.  Without exposure to this market segment you lose the opportunity to increase your visibility in front of the leaders who are rehabilitating and renovating historic buildings and developing green building plans around the country.

How do we build traffic in the hall?

• The 2010 conference will be held at the Hilton Austin; sessions, meal functions, the conference bookstore, and the exhibit hall will all be under one roof.
• The 2010 exhibit hall is open to the public as well as conference attendees so you will have more opportunities to reach local and national contacts.
• Two coffee breaks on Thursday and a reception on Friday create ample unopposed time to visit your booth.
