National Preservation Law Conference 2026

Preservation law is evolving rapidly in response to recent administrative actions and legal challenges. This year's National Preservation Law Conference will bring together a roster of national experts as they share timely insights, a broad range of perspectives, and provide strategies for advancing preservation law in a changing landscape. Attendees can make connections with peers and colleagues from across the country to exchange ideas, share success stories and challenges, and collaborate on actionable next steps. The conference also offers professional development, with CLE credit being arranged by and through the D.C. Bar for all jurisdictions having a mandatory CLE requirement, allowing participants to enhance leadership skills to more effectively save important places in their communities. The event will be held in Washington, D.C. and online.
