Co-sponsored by the Ohio History Connections’ State Historic Preservation Office. Engage in meaningful conversations focused on the economics of historic preservation, new ideas in creative placemaking, and innovations for evolving communities. Participate in focused tours of Dayton and its historic neighborhoods, districts, and landmarks.

Taking place in the historic Dayton Arcade October 10-12, 2023, the conference offers 28 sessions on a wide variety of historic preservation and downtown revitalization topics, plus tours and the full-day Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program (CAMP®) training, offered by the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC), that helps build strong local preservation programs and leaders.
