Registration is open and underway for this year’s edition of the Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute in Denver, March 5-7, 2025. Location: University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
This conference is more what we’ll call “land usey” than ALI-CLE’s Eminent Domain & Land Valuation Litigation Conference (as the respective titles suggest), but there’s a lot at RMLUI for those whose practices lean more on the eminent domain side than the land usey. As we know, any attempt to draw a clean line between these practices is futile, and there’s tons of crossover. That’s why we’ll be there, downloading the latest.
As always, there’s a great a la carte menu of programs and tracks for attendees to choose from, including sessions on “Sheetz and Exactions,” “Brownfields Re-Re-Development,” “Managing Growth and Infrastructure in the Southwest,” “ADUs for Aging in Place,” and, thankfully, “Legal Ethics.” And some add-on workshops the day before if that’s your thing. Check out the full range of programming here.
Here’s the full description of the conference, via RMLUI’s website:
Western communities, and the infrastructure and regulatory systems that they depend on, are experiencing the challenges associated with aging. As we invest in foundations for the future, we need to address those challenges and seize opportunities presented as we adapt. The 2025 Western Places | Western Spaces conference will explore the best ideas for how communities can update their planning processes, their infrastructure, and their regulatory systems to meet the moment.
Join us for Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute’s 2025 conference, featuring focused tracks on:
Aging Physical Infrastructure / Aging Intellectual Infrastructure / Aging Population

Perhaps best of all, you will have the opportunity to network with an extraordinary group of thought leaders and practitioners who are working at the vanguard of planning and land use law to build a stronger, more equitable, and more resilient region.
