Seeking Proposals to Host 2017 Revitalize WA Conference
Thank you for your interest in RevitalizeWA, Washington State’s annual preservation and downtown revitalization conference. RevitalizeWA is sponsored by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation (WTHP) in partnership with the Washington State Main Street Program (WSMSP) and the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP). Together, we are delighted to announce that we are seeking proposals from communities wishing to host our 2017 RevitalizeWA Conference.
RevitalizeWA brings together leading scholars, practitioners, and volunteers dedicated to revitalizing Main Street, preserving historic properties, and protecting cultural resources. Because the content is place-based, by nature, the host community is much more than just a facility; your organization would be an integral partner in planning a rich and dynamic experience for conference-goers and visitors to your downtown!
As RevitalizeWA continues to draw more interest (we had over 250 attendees in 2016!), there are increasing opportunities to both grow the conference and offer more diverse and engaging experiences for attendees. Our vision for RevitalizeWA includes unique venues, interactive workshops, and many opportunities for attendees to network and engage in the local community. If any of these topics spark your creativity we certainly encourage you to share your ideas within this proposal.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
