On May 5-7, 2005, a conference devoted to preserving historic recreation and
entertainment sites entitled Preserve and Play will take place. The
conference will present appropriate and successful strategies for protecting
a range of important resources, from urban recreation centers and school
gymnasiums, to public boathouses, amusement parks, and spas.

Preserve and Play will be held at the InterContinental Chicago Hotel,
constructed in 1929 as the Medinah Men's Athletic Club. This recently
restored hotel is located on Chicago's "Magnificent Mile" blocks from many
of the city's most notable landmarks.

Preserve and Play will accept presentation and demonstration proposals
through September 24, 2004.
