There’s also an Ethics program. For that, we are doing something a little different this year, with a special don’t-miss presentation, “Surviving the Daily Fistfight: Finding Your Resilience When Every Day is a Battle” with Clint Schumacher, Christian Torgrimson, and Michael Ryan.
And for those new to the field, or old hands who would like a refresher course, there’s the “101” track on Thursday, going through an eminent domain case from A to Z.
And this isn’t the complete list, and there’s more on relocation, regulatory takings from both sides of the case, effective strategies to determine unity of lands, fixtures, national updates for eminent domain and regulatory takings, and the “open mike” National Forum (where practitioners from around the nation share their issues and cases).
Look for the complete brochure shortly on the Conference web page on the ALI CLE site.
And of course, there’s Nashville. We’re right around the corner from all that the town has to offer. Music City, USA. Hot chicken. The Grand Ole Opry. Country Music Hall of Fame. The Hermitage.
So make your flight and hotel reservations now. Don’t miss out. The attendance at the last several conferences has been record-setting, and the conference block at the hotel has sold out.
Join us – old friends and new colleagues!
