The Historic Site Preservation Board presents its annual Preservation Matters Symposium on April 23 and 24 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.  This year’s theme is “Historical and Architectural Diversity.”

During this two-day symposium, hosts Trina Turk and Jade Nelson will introduce 15 sessions that reveal behind-the-scenes stories that embrace preservation and celebrate
the City of Palm Springs’ rich historical, cultural, and architectural heritage. These narratives will be presented by experts and scholars — many who reside in
the local desert communities. Other educational events include architectural tours to homes and sites throughout the city.

The event is free to the public. For more information about this year’s symposium, visit this site.
