The Preservation Chicago 2022 Chicago 7 Most Endangered presentation was presented live to a virtual audience of approximately 300 people on March 9, 2022. Additionally, there was a small in-person group of approximately 25 people including staff, board members, stakeholders, and reporters. We anticipate that this dual presentation format, including both a live in-person audience and live virtual simulcast will become the standard moving forward as it allows maximum attendance and flexibility.

Ward Miller’s 2022 Chicago 7 Most Endangered presentation was fast-paced, information-packed, and engaging. Beautiful photos and embedded media made the presentation visually rich and compelling. For those who missed the live event, the entire one hour presentation was recorded and has been posted on Preservation Chicago’s website and YouTube channel.

The 2022 Chicago 7 Most Endangered announcement and presentation was held at noon on Wednesday, March 9, 2022. The event was held in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Center.
