This Place Matters: Connecting with Historic Places (West Virginia Historic Preservation Conference)
September 22-24, 2016 |
West Virginia's premier historic preservation event of the year includes hands-on workshops, educational concurrent sessions, tours, the 8th Annual Historic Preservation Awards, and more. Conference attendees can choose to attend workshops and educational sessions related to three conference tracks, which focus on specific themes common in historic preservation projects and development. By featuring three different tracks, conference attendees can choose the topic that best reflects their interests and gain the most from their experience. Each activity in the schedule reflects one of the three conference tracks.
Three Conference Tracks:
(1) Exploring cultural heritage tourism connections - This track will focus on finding new connections for historic sites, people, and communities.
(2) Connecting health and safety with preservation - This track involves historic preservation’s connections with green development and healthy communities and will address issues of safety in preservation practice and the healthy historic buildings that can result.
(3) Building connections for stronger organizations and communities - This track will focus on partnerships and networking, increasing involvement and engagement, and funding for successful and sustainable preservation organizations.
