Join the National Trust for Historic Preservation for the PastForward National Preservation Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 28-30, 2024. Registration is now open!

PastForward 2024 will kick off a celebration of the 75th anniversary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the evolving practice of preservation in one of the country’s most historic cities. Joining us will be the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans celebrating its 50th anniversary, Main Street Louisiana marking its 40th anniversary, and the National Center for Preservation Trades and Technology founded 30 years ago.

Because preservation is an interconnected practice, PastForward 2024 sessions and speakers will address three of our nation’s biggest challenges: Creating Climate Resilience Through Historic Preservation, Ensuring a Representative Preservation Movement, and Encouraging Historic Preservation-Based Community Development.
