What We Do

Preservation Conference

Hot Springs | October 21-23, 2026

Preserve Arkansas is hosting our statewide preservation conference this fall in Hot Springs! The conference provides learning and networking opportunities for anyone interested in historic preservation, including property owners, elected officials, historic district commissioners, Main Street managers, nonprofit organizations, neighborhood groups, developers, architects, planners, and preservation professionals. 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, a Preservation in Progress Trolley Tour, and a guided walking tour of Bathhouse Row.

**Continuing education units for conference sessions will be available through the American Institute of Architects and the American Planning Association.

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Arkansas Fund of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
