2010 Preservation and Revitalization Conference

The 2010 Preservation and Revitalization Conference was held in Easton on May 20 and 21. Over 350 participants converged on Easton for two days of educational sessions highlighting both national and local trends in the field of historic preservation. In addition to the 24 classroom sessions, 12 field sessions showed off the preservation and revitalization efforts in Easton and along the Eastern Shore.

The Conference also featured three special events including a reception to welcome attendees to Easton at the Mid-Shore Community Foundation's offices in the historic Bullitt House. We were pleased to welcome Rodney L. Swink, FASLA as our keynote speaker for this year's plenary session. Mr. Swink discussed the challenges of uniting rural and urban preservation efforts and the need for preservationists to rise to this challenge in the coming years and decades. The final event of the Conference was the Maryland Historical Trust Awards and Reception which presented 11 awards to outstanding projects and preservation leaders in Maryland.

As we review the 2010 Conference, we are looking forward to building an even more successful conference for the future. If you attended the conference and have not do so already, please take a moment to fill out our conference survey.
