11th Annual Arizona Historic Preservation Conference
June 12, 2013 |
The 11th Annual Arizona Historic Preservation Conference will take place in Mesa, June 12-14, 2013, emphasizing the theme “Making Preservation Relevant: The Past in Future Tense.”
This annual conference, taking place at the Hilton Phoenix East/Mesa, will draw hundreds from around the country and abroad to explore various aspects of historic preservation that include archaeology, architecture, city planning, rural economic development, sustainability, sense of place, cultural resource management, commercial and residential structure preservation and rehabilitation, archival research, historic photography, cultural tourism, project management, funding sources, and legislation updates. The speaker line-up consists of scholars, consultants, architects, archaeologists, city planners, authors, government officials, legislators, and historians.
The planning partners are developing off-site mobile sessions to explore nearby historic preservation projects in the field and to see preservation in action. They are also creating a free-to-the-public Historic Homeowner Expo to take place on Saturday, June 15, 2013, where homeowners may find exhibitors and vendors of products and services directly related to the preservation of historic homes. The same Historic Homeowner Expo was last offered in 2009 when the Historic Preservation Conference took place in Phoenix and drew more than 350 homeowners and dozens of vendors.
The 2013 conference will also attract Tribal representatives from around the Southwest to participate in a Traditional Cultural Properties Workshop. This workshop is intended to open dialogue and generate best practices regarding the preservation of cultural properties and resources that typically include archaeological and Tribal sacred sites. This workshop will take place Wednesday and Thursday, June 12 and 13, 2013 at the same conference hotel.
A Call for Presenters and Sessions is now available, and will continue through January 31, 2013. Presenters, and session and panel discussion leaders are encouraged to submit a proposal for presentations relating to historic preservation’s best practices, project management successes, preservation action plans, economic development, sustainability, archaeological implications and issues, new preservation funding sources, newly approved preservation techniques, forward-thinking programs, and much more. For submission criteria, inquiries may be sent to questions@azpreservation.com.
