The Annual Symposium and Meeting will be held on February 25th, 2022 in Hudson Hall at the historic Hudson Opera House in Hudson, NY, as well as virtually via Zoom for those unable to join us in person. 

This overarching theme for this year's Symposium is "Walking the Preservation Tightrope: Technology vs. Tradition."  11 presentations and 1 roundtable will be presented by industry professionals, educators, and students on topics ranging from projection mapping to climate-based design and from abrasive cleaning methods to replacement materials.  

“Technology, though ceaselessly striving toward the future, has continually revised how we view the past,” Ben Rowen.

Preservation of the built environment requires a thorough understanding of historic construction and craftsmanship, but preservation professionals frequently walk the tightrope of integrating old construction with new technologies. Too much focus to either side and a building can lose historic character or risk becoming obsolete. As the world moves towards integrating new modes of technology into all phases of construction, we also risk the loss of knowledge from trades and crafts persons as younger generations are drawn towards the latest and greatest, at the expense of the tried and true.

In addition to the 11 presentations and 1 round table at the Symposium in Hudson Hall, this event will also include several additional activities available to all attendees including: 

  • A non-ticketed, Thursday night informal networking gathering in the Symposium hotel, The Wick. 
  • A ticketed, reception directly after the Symposium on Friday held within the the First Floor of Hudson Hall.

See below for the Symposium Agenda and more details about the tickets, receptions, lunch, and accommodations.
