Register by Midnight!

Tonight at midnight—Friday, March 21—is your last opportunity to take advantage of savings with regular pricing for the Texas Historical Commission’s Real Places 2025 conference. On Saturday, prices will increase to the late registration rate.

This is for all registration types—premium in-person, basic in-person, virtual, single day, student, and Courthouse Steward. Pre-conference workshops will also increase in price tomorrow.

Real Places 2025 will take place in nearly one month. Presented by the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission in partnership with Phoenix I Restoration and Construction, LLC, it will be online and in person, in Austin, April 23–25.

Room Blocks Close Soon

A reminder: Discounted room blocks are still open—for now. The room blocks close at 5 p.m. on March 31—unless they sell out first, as there is limited availability.

We have room blocks at both the conference venue, the Renaissance Austin Hotel, and a lower-priced overflow room block at the nearby Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Arboretum. Book a room directly at the links below:

• Renaissance Austin Hotel conference venue room block—These are $235 per night.
• Government per diem room block at the Renaissance Austin Hotel—These are for attendees whose employers require that rate.
• Embassy Suites by Hilton Arboretum room block—These are at the nearby overflow hotel for $149 per night. Some nights in the Embassy Suites room block have sold out. If the room rate comes up as anything other than $149, click on the dates to adjust them and click "Update." The room rate should change to $149 if the rate is available for your nights.

We hope to see you in person or virtually next month at Real Places 2025!
