Conference Highlights:
Main Street Boot Camp Pre-conference workshop: learn from the best how the main street approach can work in your community. Highly recommended for volunteers and staff of downtown revitalization programs. Communities wishing to apply for the Transforming Downtown level are especially encouraged to attend.
Be the first to hear the results of the study of the heritage tourism's economic impact sponsored this summer by the Oregon Heritage Commission, Travel Oregon, and the statewide partners of the Oregon Cultural Trust. Everybody talks about heritage tourists in Oregon. But who are they? What are the cultural icons that lure them here? Do their characteristics vary in different regions of the state? What is heritage tourism's economic impact? Learn the answers to these questions and more!
Be inspired by the "Excellence in Downtown Revitalization" success stories at our awards presentation.
Expand your downtown revitalization knowledge at one of the break-out sessions. Topics include finding and fostering entrepreneurs, fundraising, the agriculture-main street connection, historic preservation, social media marketing, engaging immigrant business owners in the main street model, energy efficiency, and more!
