Preservation & Main Street Conference

RevitalizeWA is Washington’s annual statewide conference focused on historic preservation and economic revitalization, brought to you by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and the Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation. RevitalizeWA is great way to both dip your toe in the world of Main Street and dive deep into its economic development and preservation principles.

RevitalizeWA Conference 2021

While usually held as a three day in-person event, the 2021 RevitalizeWA Conference will be held as a virtual event, with 25 unique learning opportunities available online throughout the week of September 27-30.

After months of planning for a hybrid conference that would have taken attendees to outstanding Main Street Communities including Gig Harbor, Prosser, and Colville, we have made the difficult decision to transition to a fully virtual event for the sake of keeping our communities healthy amidst the current surge in the pandemic. While nothing can replace the richness of in-person learning, we are still incredibly excited about the incredible presenters, inspiring stories, and challenging conversations that will take place at the conference this year.

Sign up now to attend RevitalizeWA 2021. Your $60 registration gets you full access to the four-day virtual conference, including 25 unique learning opportunities (and the ability to view these recordings for up to a year!) and our annual Excellence on Main celebration. You can also use this site to register for Excellence on Main alone (don’t miss out on our party packs, mailed straight to your door!).

Reimbursements

Those already registered for an in-person learning day at the $100 rate will be issued reimbursement of $40 (and remain registered for the virtual conference) upon request. If you choose to forego the reimbursement, you will be entered into a drawing for a travel package (including lodging!) to the host community you had hoped to attend for the conference (either Gig Harbor, Prosser, or Colville). Please contact Andrea Christensen for more information or to request your reimbursement.
