The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy Annual Conference 2026

The conference is at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Paradise Valley in Scottsdale.

The organizer identifies preservationists, stewards of Wright-designed buildings, architects, scholars, restoration specialists, and enthusiasts as attendees.

It is most worthwhile for stewards and owners of Wright-designed buildings, preservation architects and restoration specialists, since the five days combine tours and talks, the theme is how Wright's desert architecture can be preserved, and speakers include staff of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Arizona architects. General architecture practitioners with no Wright connection, or anyone seeking a broad trade show with exhibitors, would get less, as the focus is narrow and centred on one architect's legacy in Arizona.

Attendees at preservation and architecture conferences usually dress in smart casual, with architects often in dark, understated clothing, plus sun protection and comfortable walking shoes for building tours in the Arizona desert in early November.
