Our 30th annual conference will be held in Old Town Albuquerque, NM from September 26-29, 2024 at the Hotel Albuquerque.
This year’s conference theme — Revisiting the Spirit of Preservation — acknowledges the rich history of our organization while challenging future heritage resource management practitioners to improve on all forms of preservation including community-informed outcomes, Section 106 compliance, and non-traditional cultural resources practices.

The current session schedule is available here. Please note that this schedule is subject to change as the conference continues to develop.
We are honored to present this year’s tour to the Acoma Pueblo. Since 1150 A.D., Acoma Pueblo has earned the reputation as the oldest continuously inhabited community in North America. The mesa-top settlement is known worldwide for its unique art and rich culture. Acoma Pueblo offers a window in time where Native people carry on the customary traditions of their ancestors through Native American pottery making and tribal celebrations. Please note that there are etiquette rules that must be followed during the tour. These rules will be distributed to all attendees prior to the tour.
If you have questions about conference planning or would like to get involved, please contact Conference Committee Chair Bonnie Gibson or Executive Director Amanda Stratton.
