The next Traditional Building Exhibition and Conference takes place in Chicago October 20-23, 2010 at the Chicago Navy Pier. Click here if you would like to receive a full Chicago TBEC conference brochure.

Chicago, one of the greenest cities in America, is an ideal venue for the Traditional Building Exhibition and Conference 2010. Our Conference theme is "Growing Green: Traditional Building and Sustainable Development." We will have several sessions on how to restore, renovate, build and develop for energy efficiency while preserving historic fabric. In addition, sessions will cover: historic tax credits; period interior design; window restoration; life cycle maintenance for historic facilities; LEED for historic buildings; adaptive use; sympathetic additions; restoring bungalows and more. Popular hands on craftsmanship demonstrations will take place in workshops and on the period products exhibit floor.

Conference curriculum is developed for traditional building professionals, by traditional building professionals and aimed at the needs and interests of architects, planners, designers, contractors, the restoration/renovation trades, historic building owners, facilities managers, preservation consultants and advocates. Our partners in curriculum development include the AIA Historic Resources Committee; the Association of Preservation Technology; The National Trust for Historic Preservation; The American Institute of Building Designers and the Institute for Classical Architecture and Classical America.

On Wednesday afternoon, October 20th, we will feature 1/2 day tours and field visits to important sites and projects. There will be some full day tours on Thursday, October 21.
