The following day, Saturday, March 8, 2014 will consists of two morning presentations and panels, one with the award winners themselves presenting their projects and the other featuring a discussion of “What is ‘Good’ Design?”.
During the conference on Saturday, make sure to stop into the ‘Preservation Fair’ and meet our neighborhood partners. Each group will be displaying and distributing information about their local preservation campaigns. It’s a great opportunity to meet advocates from across the city and find what’s going in the neighborhoods. There’s still room if you want to sign up for a table and as an added bonus each participant gets to enjoy the full day of panels (and breakfast!!) for free.
