SGH to Participate in 2026 APT Conference
Several Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) team members will participate in the Association for Preservation Technology International (APT) 2026 Conference, “The Crossroads of Preservation: Where Industry and Craft Come Together,” taking place 26 – 30 October 2026 in Indianapolis, IN.
Bringing together preservation professionals from across the industry, the conference will explore three key themes shaping the future of preservation: the legacy of industrial development and opportunities to adapt these historic properties; the role of craftsmanship in preserving historic character; and the ways transportation, materials, and design connect communities at both local and global scales.
Several SGH technical staff will participate as presenters, contributing insights across the three tracks.
