Every year preservation experts, professionals working in related fields, and community leaders all gather at the National Trust for Historic Preservation's National Preservation Conference. Come together to share preservation challenges, successes, new information, and inspiration.

What's New in 2006?

A special focus on green buildings. The conference will include targeted educational and field sessions plus a full-day, pre-conference summit addressing the combined goals of green building and historic preservation advocacy, LEED certification issues, and more.

A spotlight on various types of revolving funds. Break-out sessions on Friday consider the latest financial and real estate techniques for establishing and expanding funds in communities, cities, and states of all sizes.

Look for special sessions that build and expand on recent conference “hot topics.” If this is your first year participating, you’ll take away an informed perspective on critical issues and hot topics— information to use immediately back home.

Pittsburgh becomes our living laboratory for exploring the latest in preservation. The city’s numerous historic districts, accessible downtown, and historic resources within easy driving distance make the city a gold mine for hands-on learning. So join us in Pittsburgh for the National Trust for Historic Preservation's National Preservation Conference 2006, Making Preservation Work!
