Historically, our best solutions came from individuals working together on bold innovative ideas. Like the colonial days, resources are becoming scarce. And the global population is diverse and fiercely independent.

America’s historic cities share an exciting challenge: to preserve our cultural integrity and be lead participants in global growth. Growth is about sustainable development, beside taking care of our roots.

Core values and simple choices are in vogue. Rural environments and smaller American cities are again attractive.

Newport today is the home of the US Naval War College, the intelligence center of the modern Navy. Like all cities, Newport is blending the old with the new. Newport holds the largest number of historic homes per capita and per acre in America, according to the American Institute of Architecture (AIA).

Talented architects, visionary business people, agricultural & environmental scientists, and other innovators will convene here at the Source Newport Conference for three days to present, demonstrate, discuss, and initiate solutions to planning and design challenges, working within the constraints posed by global energy and economic issues.

Entrepreneurs will be encouraged to develop new ventures. Professional investors and builders will start profitable joint ventures. And the curious will be engaged by ideas for forward-looking lifestyle and practical living.

Join us for this important conference and expo in beautiful Newport, the City by the Sea as many of the most active members of the global community join together to uncover valuable solutions to challenges faced by us all, solutions that re-engage Americans in intelligent and responsible dialogues.
