We're almost there, but we still have room remaining. At the 2018 Conference in Charleston, we both sold out the registrations and the conference hotel, so we planned ahead for the upcoming 2019 Conference in Palm Springs at the Renaissance Palm Springs Resort.
Register here. You will also be able to download the print brochure (above), or find out more details about the agenda and faculty on line. As always, we have assembled a great faculty -- many of them new speakers -- on the hottest topics in eminent domain and takings law: pipelines, jury presentations, challenging the take, an update on the most important decisions of 2018, pre-condemnation planning (from both the condemnor and property owner perspective), the border wall, and relocation.
And of course, ethics and the "101" track for those new to the field, or experienced lawyers who would like a refresher on the basics. And these featured presentations:
- JFK: The Assassination, the Zapruder Film, and Just Compensation - Judge Andrew Edison and Justin Hodge
- Keynote Address - Property Rights: Foundation for a Free Society – President W. Taylor Reveley (College of William and Mary, Emeritus)
- Tips and Traps for the New Eminent Domain Lawyer –Andrew Brigham, Thor Hearne, Justin Hodge, Mikaela Rivera, Jack Sperber, and Joseph Suntum
- Earth, Wind, (Water), and Fire: A Report From te Front Lines of the Flood and Wildfire Inverse Cases –Thor Hearne, Professor Shelley Saxer, and Edwin Smith
- Responding to Misconceptions and Urban Legends About Eminent Domain in Popular Media – Andrew Gowder, Mark Murakami and Kelly Sheeran
As always, there are sponsored receptions and other networking events so you can meet your colleagues from across the nation.
We have already exceeded the conference room block at the Renaissance (which means there are still rooms available at the conference hotel, just not at the discounted conference rate). But fear not: ALI has secured three overflow room blocks at nearby hotels (our Conference is in downtown Palm Springs), so there are many options for lodging remaining. ALI has also booked the very largest conference facilities, so registrations is still ongoing, and we likely will not sell out like in Charleston.
But you never know. This program is growing in popularity and attendance, with each year exceeding the last. So don't delay, make your hotel booking now, and register to come join us in January.
