2 The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions invites you to Des Moines, Iowa to celebrate FORUM 2018: A Preservation Caucus. The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions is proud to present the 11th biennial NAPC FORUM in Des Moines, Iowa from July 18 to 22, NAPC FORUM is the only national conference focused on the issues facing local historic preservation commissions and historic districts. FORUM 2016 in Mobile hosted nearly 600 registrants from 44 states. FORUM 2018 will build on this landmark success with dozens of educational sessions and discussion panels, mobile workshops and tours, and five days of non-stop networking for staff and volunteers representing local, state and national organizations and government agencies. A flyover city no more, Des Moines, with its vibrant and thriving downtown, has become one of the fastest growing and yes, one of the hippest cities in the Midwest. The City of Des Moines is the destination for the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions FORUM With three local historic districts, twenty-two local landmarks and a bustling downtown, the renaissance of Des Moines is due in large part to the impact of historic preservation. Through strong partnerships, community support and the use of historic tax credits, downtown Des Moines has transformed from an area that emptied out at the end of the workday to one where approximately 80,000 Iowans work and live. For hundreds of thousands of other Iowans, downtown is a place to enjoy historic architecture, ride the bike trails, attend a concert or visit the downtown Farmers Market. The city has effectively used historic preservation and cultural amenities to make downtown a distinctive and desirable place to be. Along with the City of Des Moines, the Iowa State Historic Preservation Office is a lead partner for FORUM Housed in the Department of Cultural Affairs, the Iowa State Historic Preservation Office works to conserve, preserve and celebrate the rich natural and cultural resources of Iowa. Beyond the important preservation work in Des Moines, Iowa has one of the largest Certified Local Government (CLG) in the nation with more than 90 cities and counties participating in the. The strengths of this include its robust preservation network, an emphasis on commissioner education, and the promotion of peer role models. The Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau is also a major supporter and partner of FORUM Sponsorship Opportunities FORUM 2018 sponsorship provides a unique opportunity to be a part of this national celebration by supporting conference events and activities at many different levels and in many different ways. FORUM 2018 marketing campaigns touch many thousands of preservation staff and volunteers and other community leaders across thecountry, as well as representatives of national preservationrelated organizations and agencies. NAPC outreach offers the opportunity for sponsors to be highly visible before, during and after the conference. FORUM 2018 sponsors make it possible for commission staff and volunteers to discuss current trends and issues, to learn from the successes and stumbling blocks of other communities, and to discover innovative strategies to deal with common challenges. All sponsors are partners in the effort to provide education, training and mentoring to FORUM 2018 attendees. Understanding that every sponsor has unique needs and expectations for recognition and benefits associated with the conference, NAPC will work with each supporter to tailor an appropriate benefits package. Opportunities exist for conference marketing, event promotion, media exposure, advertising and conference participation. Sponsorships are distinguished from advertising opportunities by the benefits offered for each category of support.
