  • Oakland, CA (1888PressRelease) December 08, 2011 - in 2012 thirty years will have passed since the California Preservation Conference was held in Oakland. California. Entitled "Reinvesting in America", the 1982 conference featured Bob Spiller of Boston 5˘ Savings talking about the economics of historic rehabilitation, which we are still talking about today.

    In 2012, California Preservation Foundation will partner once again with the Oakland Heritage Alliance and many other partners to plan the 37th Annual California Preservation Conference, entitled Old Roots, New Growth: Cultivating Communities.

    This conference will be held Thursday, May 3 through Sunday, May 6, 2012 and will include conference tours, workshops, and sessions that will explore the diverse range of preservation interests from their industrial roots to new initiatives in Oakland and surrounding Bay Area, applicable to historic preservation throughout California

    The conference will be based at the Oakland Marriott City Center, just steps from the 12th Street BART station in the heart of downtown. Special events and tours including Lake Merritt, 1891 Unitarian Church, Scottish Rite Center, University of California at Berkeley, Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park, Peralta Hacienda, and many more special historic sites.

    The California Preservation Conference is a once-a-year opportunity to learn more about preservation initiatives and activities around the state and to network with others, from community grass-roots to professionals. There are also valuable opportunities to sponsor and volunteer at this not-to-be-missed statewide historic preservation event.
