Heritage Ohio Annual Conference

Heritage Ohio’s 2013 Annual conference, Local Spirit 2013, will be held in Columbus on May 21-23 at The Westin Hotel downtown. The conference is full of sessions of interest to the local history and historic preservation communities.

Sessions include “Ohio Grant Opportunities,” with information on History Fund and  Certified Local Government grants, and “TourismOhio,” which will talk about how organizations can “tap into the Ohio Tourism Marketing Machine” and best practices in developing regional partnerships. The keynote speaker is Donovan Rypkema, a nationally known expert on the economic impact of historic preservation. He will also be leading three sessions on that topic. The conference also includes tours of historic Greenlawn cemetery, German Village and Mid-centry Modern Columbus.
