Forum is the only national conference focused around the needs and issues of preservation commissions and commission staff.  It is an interactive conference that blends traditional educational sessions, discussion panels, mobile workshops and tours, providing participants with essential training and networking opportunities. Forum is held every other year in interesting destination cities and brings local commission members from across the country together with representatives from local, state and national organizations, governments and federal agencies. It is supported by the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preservation Action and the National Park Service.

Forum 2012 will be held in Norfolk, Virginia, July 18-22.  Please visit our Forum 2012 page for more information!
