2025 Missouri Preservation Conference

The Annual Statewide Preservation Conference is Missouri Preservation’s largest educational opportunity and biggest event. Going on its 26th year, the conference travels to a different city in Missouri each year with a goal of highlighting all the history the host town has to offer. The conference brings together architects, developers, preservation specialists, members of historic preservation commissions and various trades persons from across the state and the surrounding area for 3 days of networking, trade show, and educational opportunities. We even offer AIA Continuing Education Credits for most sessions and certificates of completion. This year we want to emphasize how the field of historic preservation is at a tipping point. As the world changes, what can we do to ensure preservation is a more relevant, just and accessible resource? For a better idea of what we’re talking about, we recommend checking out The Relevancy Guidebook: How We Can Transform the Future of Preservation by Bonnie McDonald, CEO of Landmarks Illinois. We just might hear more about it from Bonnie at the Conference this year!
