APT is launching an exciting new series of regional events to connect with preservation professionals across the country, build community, and expand our reach.

Join us for our inaugural event in Chicago, IL, on July 24! We're hosting an exclusive evening at the stunning Chicago Loop Synagogue (1958), featuring a private viewing and presentation by Alanna E. Cooper of Case Western University. Dr. Cooper will share her fascinating research on the synagogue's history and remarkable art glass collection.

This modernist gem, known for its monumental stained-glass wall and iconic "Hands of Peace" sculpture, has been a highlight of Open House Chicago and architectural tours throughout the city. The evening will include plenty of time to network with fellow preservation professionals, meet APT leadership, and strengthen connections within our community.

Light refreshments will be served, and all preservation community members are welcome—whether you're an APT member or not. Please join us if you're in the area and help us spread the word!
