Preservation Virginia's Annual Conference
October 20-22, 2013
Roanoke, VA
Preservation Virginia’s 2013 statewide Annual Preservation Conference held in partnership with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources will be in Roanoke, Virginia from October 20th through 22nd, 2013. The conference typically draws 150-200 preservationists, architects, city planners, developers, local government officials, historic property owners, historic preservation non-profit staff and members, and others to attend lectures and panels, workshops, tours, and field sessions on a variety of preservation-related issues from historic tax credits to economic development to heritage tourism. The awards luncheon and the lively Preservation Pitch will return this year, too.
The conference will be based at the historic Hotel Roanoke (where we have negotiated an excellent nightly rate) and at sites located throughout Roanoke’s walkable downtown. Sessions will be held at various sites that have benefitted from Roanoke’s active historic preservation culture, including Center in the Square and the Patrick Henry Hotel, among others. Receptions will be held at the Virginia Museum of Transportation and the Roanoke Market Ballroom, affording attendees the opportunity to explore downtown Roanoke’s restaurants and music scene first-hand.
Watch this space for the preliminary program and conference and hotel registration links.
