The following questions will be addressed in the reports and discussion of participants' program topics: Where is historic preservation and architecture in these emerging programs? What are the common competencies in these cultural heritage preservation programs? Is there a holistic approach to be identified? What are the challenges for building programs? What are the opportunities, given new technologies for building programs? Nationally? Internationally? What are the opportunities for collaboration? Please join us for this very informative topical presentation and discussion.
