Call for Presentations

"Climate Control for Historic Buildings and Collections"
APT DC Annual Symposium
Washington DC
March 2011

The Association for Preservation Technology DC Chapter, in
conjunction with the Washington Conservation Guild, requests
presentations for our Annual Symposium to be held in Washington DC
on March 24-25, 2011. Presentations are to address the challenges of
balancing the needs of building preservation, museum collections and
visitor comfort. The Symposium would like to explore the
decision-making processes related to the introduction of
environmental controls, best practices for climate control,
successes and failures (including lessons learned), and the
utilization of green practices and technologies.

All presentations that discuss case studies should address one of
the above topics and presenters are encouraged to demonstrate how
the case study contributes to the field by providing in-depth
analysis of what was learned in the course of the study or project.

Abstracts should be 250 to 300 words and must include the title, the
name of the speaker or speakers, the address of the speaker and any
institution they are representing, email address of the speaker and
the speaker's resume. Students are encouraged to submit work that is
relevant to the topic.

Presentations are to be 30 minutes in length with time for
questions.

Abstracts are due January 10, 2010 and should be sent to APT DC at
info<-at->aptdc<.>org with a copy to catherine_dewey<-at->nps<.>gov.

Selection Notification and Speaker Responsibilities Please read the
following guidelines carefully.

Each presenter will receive a complimentary registration for the
symposium, lunch included. Presenters will not be paid. All travel
and additional expenses are the responsibility of the presenter.

If your abstract is selected, you will be notified by January 31,
2011.

Presenters are encouraged to use PowerPoint technology to enhance
their presentations. No other audiovisual requirements will be
permitted. PowerPoint presentations must be submitted to APT DC at a
specified deadline date in order to preload presentation to avoid
on-site slow downs.

Selection Criteria: All abstracts are peer reviewed by an APT
DC/WCG-appointed committee. Each abstract is evaluated in four key
areas:

    Originality Quality of the abstract (clearly defines out-comes,
    flows smoothly) Relevance/significance to the field of Historic
    Preservation Objectives

We look forward to your participation in educating architects,
conservators, house museum managers, and preservationists. Contact
