So often we go to a city for a conference or business meeting and spend our time three places: at the airport, in our hotel room, and in a conference room. We miss seeing the sites and soul of the host city, many of which have an incredibly rich and nuanced past. ACRA recognizes the need for a more robust visitation experience, and we strive to have outreach events at all of our conferences. For our 2019 conference in Spokane, the organizers have arranged several events to help you explore the city.

  • Thursday afternoon’s workshop includes a walking tour of a historic hydroelectric facility in downtown Spokane as well as exploring one of many wonderful cafes in the area for refreshments
  • Friday’s presentations commence with a ceremony from a Spokane tribal leader to welcome all to the area
  • The slate of sessions begins with a narrative on the prehistory and history of Spokane, including a presentation by The Historic Davenport staff on the multi-million dollar restoration of our historic venue; and
  • Saturday evening starts with a bus tour of Spokane with a presentation by local guides to highlight important area landmarks and concludes with our awards social at Barrister Winery, housed in a circa 1906 automobile warehouse.

The 2019 ACRA Conference will be held October 23–27, 2019. Rooms for the reduced rate of $149.00 at our venue, The Historic Davenport, are going fast.
