On a personal level, we stayed at the historic Westin on High St. downtown. It is a great old building, although the modern man in me was forced to complain about the non-functioning data port at the desk in our room. (Rudy's First Rule of Order: When you don't get what you want...bitch!) They didn't fix it, but the jury rig they provided was workable. Turns out this was the first statewide building conservation conference and it was well supported. Made a lot of good contacts and receptioned with many old preservation friends. The highlight was indeed Edward T. McMahon's presentation at the Columbus Metrpolitan Club luncheon. His case for heritage tourism and urban revitalization based on conservation and adaptive re-use was fabulous! I would strongly recommend him as a keynote if anyone is looking.
