The Preservation Conference is going bigger and better! The Landmark Society is partnering with two of our non-profit colleagues, the Preservation League of New York State and Preservation Buffalo Niagara, to bring you a New York Statewide Preservation Conference for the first time in over a dozen years.

The 2014 Statewide Preservation Conference theme is:

FILL IN THE BLANK: Defining Preservation, A New York Statewide Conference.

Join us in Rochester as we seek to expand the traditional definitions of preservation and to reach new audiences by challenging some of the common misconceptions about the field. We want to know what preservation means to you and what it could mean to others who are working to better their communities.

We are delighted to announce our Keynote and Saturday Speakers for the 2014 Statewide Preservation Conference;

  1. Is there a print-out of the activities on Friday night and Saturday?
    I am trying to figure out if I can attend something else on Saturday evening.
    What time are the events that I have signed up for?
