The Keynote Address given by Topaz Medallion winner Ed Allen at the BTES Symposium in Maryland in 2006 has been printed and is available to download here.
In addition to the Plenary Sessions, separate parallel presentations were given by many attendees along either a "construction" or "structures" theme.
Joe Burns Plenary Session
A "teaching gift exchange" was formalized, with attendees bringing teaching projects, outlines and software to exchange with their fellow participants.
This gathering was key in the decision to formalize BTES as an Incorporated entity.

These recordings have not been edited or corrected for volume,
ambient noise or extraneous recordings.
We hope to have them edited and parsed for individual participants in
time.

hesitate to contact us.

2006 BTES Proceedings
Have Been Officially Published
With the formal
incorporation of the BTES, the proceedings for the 2006 BTES, held at
the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and
Preservation, have been released as our first official publication (ISBN
978-0-615-24911-7)! We've gone through an independent online printer
(Lulu) and have produced an attractively bound book that includes back
cover photographs from the symposium. It will be
available from online retailers such as Amazon.com for a cover price
of $35, but if you buy it through the BTES directly, additional proceeds
beyond printing and shipping cost go back to the organization. And if
you're a dues-paying member of the BTES, you can have it for $25...such
a deal! (Member purchases will be handled by rebate check...there is
unfortunately no easy way to get the printer to have an alternate price.
Please email webmaster@btesonline.org and send a copy of your Lulu receipt and
we'll mail a $10.00 check out to your registered member address). Click
the cover image below to order your copy today.
