2024 Oregon Heritage Conference: Make Space.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/heritageconference.aspx>
April 17 – April 20, 2024
Forest Grove
The Oregon Heritage Conference is a space for anyone doing heritage preservation work in Oregon to come together and share insights, understand connections, develop relationships, learn new ways, reinforce the value of the work and leave energized to keep moving forward. With all of the demands on people including information overload, home life, work tasks and all the things, the 2024 conference will be a place to Make Space by helping to clear the clutter, set priorities, build relationships, and plan for the time it takes.
Plenary Speakers:

  *   Enjoy a lively exploration of word histories, linguistic differences, and bias toward non-mainstream dialects with Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett from A Way with Words<https://www.waywordradio.org/podcasts>.
  *   Build understanding with Matika Wilbur and Project 562<https://www.project562.com/blog>
