Join Modernism Week for a series of five lively discussion panels at CAMP, drawing on local speakers from the fields of real estate, design, architecture, building and home ownership, addressing issues related to the evaluation, buying, renovating and updating of a historic home.

Attend one or all sessions, learn from the real-life experience of specialists and debunk the myths of reality design shows.
