2009 National Main Streets Conference: Becoming Main Street 2.0

Welcome Back From Chicago

Did you have an “ah-ha” moment (or five) during sessions and tutorials in Chicago? Did you find a vendor in the Expo to help you pull together your plans? Are already planning to get started with your blog and take advantage of low-cost social media tools? At the national level, we plan to continue offering webinars and Main Street News articles on these topics and we encourage you to help us to carry the momentum that was created in Chicago through to Oklahoma City next Spring. Keep in touch with each other, presenters and exhibitors on the conference blogs: Preservation Nation or Main Street Live and share your stories, your photos and your videos.
