Need an excuse to be in Honolulu mid-winter?
If you are still looking for a reason to head to the 808 next month, here it is. The 2026 Future of Property Law Conference, February 13, 2026 at the University of Hawaii School of Law.
Chaired by Professor David Callies, the agenda features dirt law luminaries (and others, us included) speaking about topics like housing, the ALI Restatement, Coastal Protection/Public Trust, and IP/AI Property. (We are speaking on “Physical and Regulatory Takings” at 9:15am.)
Speakers include Thomas Mitchell, Jim Burling, John Infranca, Henry Smith, and Thomas Merrill.
See the complete agenda and speaker list (and registration) here.
Here’s the official program description:
This 1-day conference is a must attend for any attorney or professional whose practice involves land use and development. Distinguished land-use practitioners, scholars, planners, and regulators from Hawaii and the Mainland will discuss timely and relevant issues, including: Housing Physical & Regulatory Takings ALI Restatement, 4 , Property Law the IP/Artificial Intelligence Coastal Protection/Public Trust Climate Change
All for a very modest registration fee ($150, with discounts available).
If you really need to resist temptation and cannot make it to Honolulu, the program will also be live-streamed (remember that Hawaii is 5 hours behind Eastern Time, and two hours behind Pacific).
So make your plans to join us. Hopefully in-person, but at least live-streamed if that isn’t possible. Come on, you know you want to!
