A registration to attend the conference and two half-day field sessions at this year's National Preservation Conference held in Nashville, TN from October 13-17, 2009.  Field sessions offer a wonderful opportunity to visit unique sites or neighborhoods, some of which are not easily accessible.

The National Preservation Conference provides all-important know-how, innovative ideas, and inspiration for persons saving America's historic places and revitalizing communities. Engage in roundtable discussions, listen to experts, visit historic sites and places, and learn about preservation nationwide. A great experience for members or professionals alike.

Take advantage of the opportunity to explore and learn from the preservation challenges and successes in Nashville and the communities and countryside that surround it. Pasts filled with frontier hardships, Civil War battles, civil rights struggles, and the development of American music are blending with New South energy and thriving Main Street communities. The unfolding stories are told through plantations and farms, town squares, battlefields, city streets, historic African-American institutions, 19th and 20th century neighborhoods, and music venues from intimate bars to the world-famous Ryman Auditorium.
