Conference Lightning Round: Call for proposals! |
||
|
|
|
 |
||
One of the new elements that we’re excited about are the Lightning Round presentations that will close out the first night of the Conference. Lightning Rounds will be a series of 10 short and fast-paced presentations. Each presentation has a strict 6-minute time limit. We want your ideas for these rapid-fire presentations! As far as topics, anything goes (as long as it’s at least tangentially related to historic preservation, community revitalization, architecture, planning, landscape architecture, etc.). Priority will be given to proposals that present new concepts, that challenge traditional preservation methods, that focus on the history and places of traditionally under-represented communities, or that elevate new voices in preservation. Deadline to submit: November 6th at midnight |
