It’s that time of year again! HDC is proud to announce its 17th Annual Preservation Conference, “LOOKING FORWARD, LOOKING BACK: FORTY YEARS OF PRESERVING NYC NEIGHBORHOODS.” This year the Historic Districts Council celebrates forty years as the citywide advocate for New York’s historic neighborhoods. The Conference will examine the history and changes within the preservation community that have taken place in those four decades. We will discuss successful campaigns, unfortunate losses, lessons learned and how to use this information to inform future preservation campaigns.

The conference will be preceded by an Opening Night Reception on Friday, March 4. The Sunday following the Conference will feature a series of walking tours of historic areas throughout New York City. Go to http://www.hdc.org/Conference2011.htm to register online.
