The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions is excited to announce our Forum 2014 conference in Philadelphia, PA, July 16-20. Forum is the only national conference focused on the needs and issues of preservation commissions, their staff, historic district property owners and communities with districts. Forum is an interactive conference with traditional educational sessions, round table discussions, mobile workshops and tours providing participants with essential training and networking opportunities. Forum is held biennially at heritage destination cities and brings participants from across the country together with representatives from local, state and national organizations, governments and federal agencies. Past attendees report NAPC’s Forum to be the best preservation conference for content and issues affecting local historic districts, for knowledge of local preservation trends, for understanding local preservation public policy challenges and for networking with preservationists from all fifty states.

FORUM 2014 will bring together the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions’ biennial training program with the Statewide Conference on Heritage/Byways to the Past, presented annually by Preservation Pennsylvania and PennDOT. This unique partnership will offer tours, workshops, and educational sessions about a variety of topics related to design review, cultural resource management, legal issues, and historic preservation planning in urban, suburban and rural settings throughout Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
