Join Colorado Preservation, Inc (CPI) for the 30th annual Saving Places Conference, a nationally recognized, dynamic three-day event featuring engaging speakers and over 40 sessions, tours and networking opportunities.

In 2027 we will continue the conversations we started around Preservation Workforce Development in 2026. and tackle this topic as our conference theme. We will work to expand the conversations and opportunities surrounding preservation workforce in the areas of trades work, government, private sector and more.

We Are Colorado Preservation, Inc.

Since 1984, Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) has diligently worked to make a difference in communities throughout the state. Energized around a central theme of “building a future with historic places,” CPI was founded by visionary leaders who identified a need for a statewide nonprofit organization structured around preserving, protecting, and promoting Colorado’s historic places. Historic preservation is much more than keeping “old” buildings standing; preservation is about creating a sense of place, enhancing communities, and revitalizing economies. Our organization promotes the critical connection between people and place.

CPI works to ensure historic places across Colorado are protected and will be preserved for future generations. CPI advances its mission by partnering with property owners, non-profit organizations, educators, and local governments through its signature initiatives Colorado’s Most Endangered Places Program (EPP), its Dana Crawford & State Honor Awards, and its annual Saving Places® Conference

The Saving Places Conference is one of the many ways CPI advances historic preservation by bringing together individuals, organizations, communities, and projects from across the nation to discuss the latest in preservation, looking at common concerns and challenges while celebrating our collective accomplishments. For over 20 years, CPI has provided essential training and networking opportunities to individuals like YOU working to protect our state’s heritage.
