Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person conferences have been postponed until further notice. Please see our Events page for information on upcoming educational webinars, and please see our Resources page for recordings of previously held webinars.
Conferences and Workshops
Preservation Virginia has traditionally held the Virginia Preservation Conference each year in a new location around the Commonwealth, bringing together architects, builders, preservationists, government leaders, developers, lawyers, local planning officials and everyday citizens to explore preservation ideas and initiatives. While at the conference, participants are equipped with valuable preservation resources and knowledge.
This year, instead of one centralized multi-day conference, Preservation Virginia will be hosting a series of single-day, single-topic intensives throughout the year and across the Commonwealth. Topics slated for this year include African American Cemeteries, African American Historic Resources and Coastal Adaptation and Protection.
