APT San Antonio 2016:  Preserving Heritage with Tomorrow’s Technology

Old World charm meets New World technology.  The blend of these two worlds converge in San Antonio – a place where preservation of historic Spanish Colonial Missions has led to a UNESCO World Heritage designation, only the 23rd such honor for the United States, and the first for Texas.

In a city where heritage is evident in neighborhoods, buildings, and landscapes, preservation is key.  San Antonio will host this year’s APT conference, and it is here where we will explore many components of preservation, the processes, techniques and technologies that have been developed and are now in practice, or new ideas that are being introduced.

We invite you to mark your calendars and join us October 30-November 2 in the beautiful city of San Antonio!
