The Summit was hosted by the White House Historical Association and took place in Dallas, Texas from March 15 to March 17. Held every two years, the Summit included attendees from institutions all over the country and from across the spectrum of the historical profession to discuss key issues and consider the latest trends in topics ranging from operations to outreach and interpretation.

The reception was held in the Pavilion’s first floor parlors and Century Hall, which is a gallery of historical art and artifacts. The program was hosted in the Debate Chamber and featured a discussion between former chiefs of staff to presidents and first ladies about the job itself and the intersection of the work between the East and West Wing. Speakers included John F.W. Rogers, Stewart McLaurin, Mark Updegrove, Anita McBride, Tina Tchen, Andrew H. Card, and Thomas "Mack" McLarty.
