architects, historians, urban planners, city planners,
developers, and public and private-sector professionals.

help strengthen the historic preservation movement.
Note that the

Call for Ideas
Have an opinion on what you
think hot topics are for preservation? Heard an
inspiring speaker you think would resonate with the
audience at the National Preservation Conference? Have a
suggestion on what people need and want to hear in
Savannah? Now is your chance to tell us!
We want to hear your ideas
for shaping the seminar-style and classroom programming.
Unlike years past where we did a call for session
proposals, which required you to be responsible for
content and delivery from start to finish, a call for
ideas encourages you to submit your thoughts, and we
will work with you to potentially bring them to life for
the conference.
The process for submitting an
idea is quick and easy. Simply
fill out our form to pass along
your ideas by March 17, 2014.
Call for Field Study
Proposals
Are you or your organization
involved in top-notch preservation work in Savannah? Is
there a cutting edge strategy that you employ to
revitalize your community? Can preservationists from
around the country learn from your experiences, and
would you like the opportunity to hear their
perspectives?
Showcase your historic
project, topic or site, and share your successes,
challenges and lessons with attendees. Demonstrate the
strategies you’ve implemented to save buildings and
local history so attendees can incorporate into their
efforts in their communities.
What is a Field Study?
A first-hand look at local
preservation projects, taking attendees into the
community or region (can be up to 90 miles outside of
Savannah)
The local area’s most
significant places, such as a single building, downtown
retail corridor, historic neighborhood, rural landscape,
series of bridges, historic rail or road corridor, park,
culturally significant place, series of homes or
buildings by the same architect, etc.
Submit your Field Study Proposal by
March 17, 2014.
