Preserve Arkansas is relaunching our statewide preservation conference this fall in Hot Springs! The conference is intended to provide high-quality, accessible learning and networking opportunities for property owners, elected officials, historic district commissioners, Main Street managers, neighborhood groups, developers, architects, planners, preservation professionals, and more. Optional pre-conference activities include the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions’ Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program (CAMP), offered through a partnership with the City of Hot Springs, and historic site tours. Continuing education units for conference sessions will be available through the American Institute of Architects.
