This past year, we undertook a series of inclusive listening sessions with those in the preservation field as well as allied fields of architecture, planning, development, and climate to learn about their challenges addressing some of this country’s most pressing issues, including mitigating and adapting to a changing climate, repurposing historic buildings to create affordable housing, and sharing the stories of all Americans.

The resulting agenda, Leading the Change Together, led to the over-arching theme of this year’s conference: Moving from Vision to Action.

During PastForward 2022, we will also be putting a spotlight on the amazing people who are moving from vision to action!
